These data were collected for use in of the RI Coastal Resource Management Council's Ocean Special Area Management Plan planning process and were also intended as an update and refinement to a similar set of maps created in 2004 by New England regional Sea Grant. This data layer was developed from September 2008 - January 2009, published in February 2009 and reviewed by fishermen and updated a final time in September - October 2009. Data were collected through interviews and mapping exercises conducted in person, both one-on-one and in small groups, with representatives of the RI Fishermen's Alliance, independent fishermen, and unaffiliated fishermen. Other RI fishermen's associations participated in the Ocean SAMP stakeholder process but, to date, have not yet participated in the data collection effort.

In each interview, fishermen were first given a brief introduction to the RI Ocean SAMP planning process and shown NOAA nautical charts of the SAMP area. Researchers then asked the fishermen to describe where they fish, and to draw polygons encompassing these areas on the nautical charts. Fishermen were then asked follow-up questions about these areas, including (1) During which seasons do you fish in each area?; (2) With what gear?; and in some cases (3) What are your target species in each area? Following these meetings, data were aggregated onto one set of charts, which were then compared with the 2004 maps to corroborate the current information. Charts were then scanned and georeferenced and polygons were digitized in order to create Geographic Information Systems (GIS) shapefiles. Attribute fields were created for the data layers to record available information about seasonality and gear type. It should be noted that this dataset has some limitations and data may be incomplete. In addition, these data do not include out-of-state fisheries which may be conducted within the SAMP area, such as the herring mid-water trawling fishery based out of other New England ports.

This dataset contains summaries of NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) logbook data on effort distribution for NSW commercial fisheries in state marine and estuarine waters. The logbook data has been recorded and submitted to NSW DPI by commercial fishers. https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/commercial/catch-effort

The data are aggregated to produce summaries of total effort by gear type (summarised across fishery), over 5 year periods and at a 0.1 degree resolution where 6 boats or more operate. All effort information has been removed for areas where less than 6 boats operate and these areas are mapped to a 1 degree resolution.

The 5 year period (2011-2015) corresponds to State of Environment (SoE) Reporting, required under the EPBC Act 1999. Each map layer is labelled by the years aggregated (“2015” for 2011-2015) and the gear type (“GNMN” = gillnet and mesh net). The gear codes and aggregated fisheries and the shape file field descriptions are listed separately in the Supplemental Information section.

The data were supplied for the purpose of research being undertaken by CSIRO under the National Environmental Science Programme (NESP) Marine Biodiversity Hub to produce an interactive map of pressures on the marine environment (at a broad spatial scale) that will enable a systematic understanding of the different pressures acting in different areas.

NOAA Fisheries' science-based conservation and management of sustainable fisheries, marine mammals, endangered species, and their habitats have become global models for marine stewardship and sustainability.

Fishery-independent data from the Federal/State/University cooperative Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) and the National Marine Fisheries Service Southeast Fisheries Science Center were used to generate maps of station locations, sampling effort and distribution and abundance of selected fish, shark and invertebrate species. The map layers for each species were summarized from SEAMAP Fall Plankton (1986-2016), SEAMAP Summer and Fall Bottom Trawl (1987-2018), SEAMAP Reef Fish Video (1995-2017) and NMFS Bottom Longline (2001-2018) surveys. Species specific information may be documented for a single or multiple surveys dependent upon available data.

Over the past several years, the department has undergone an extensive effort to correct and provide for accurate descriptions of commercial salmon fishing districts, sections, statistical areas, and closed waters. This interactive mobile map allows users to view these areas as well as other information pertinent to Southeast Alaska salmon fisheries management. This map is available for download thru the Esri Field Maps app and can be used offline. This map is for reference purposes only and is still under development. Any feedback is appreciated.The map can be used remotely on mobile devices by downloading the ArcGIS Field Maps app by ESRI and loading the ADF&G SE AK Salmon Mobile – SEAK map.

Where to Fish For Application New to the state? New to fishing? Want to find a new place to fish? Have you always wanted to catch a Black Crappie but don’t know where to go? Well then, check out CT DEEP Fisheries Division’s “Where to fish for…” application. This simple interactive map, co-developed by CT DEEP GIS and the Fisheries Division is intended to augment our “Fish with CARE” learn to fish events. At the events, the most common question by far was, “Where can I fish near me…”. This map provides the ideal solution for both novice and experienced anglers alike. The data powering the map was collected over the past decade through routine monitoring by the Fisheries Division of public lakes, ponds and the CT River. This new map joins two previously developed interactive maps, one for Rivers/Streams (Interactive Trout Stocking Map) and one for our shoreline access, charter boats, and tackle shops (Saltwater Resources map) also help to get people onto the fish. This video provides a quick tutorial on some of the key features.

Notes: 1. Care needs to be taken when interpreting the fishing effort maps because in areas where there are less than 3 boats operating only the fishing footprint at 1 degree resolution is displayed, consistent with the WA DPIRD Information Disclosure Policy. The fishing footprint indicates that fishing occurred but does not provide information about the intensity of effort. These areas comprise less than 4% of the total fishing effort. Note that fishing effort is recorded at finer-resolution (0.1 degree) since approximately 2008, however due to confidentiality those data were unavailable. 2. The summary effort data encompasses the commercial marine fisheries in Western Australia, excluding the Christmas Island Fishery. These include trawl, line, trap, pot, hand gathering, and net methods. For further detail regarding these methods, please contact WA DPIRD. The WA commercial fisheries associated with each fishing activity (or method) are listed below.

This feature service provides a summary of the bottom fish data collected in the Marianas Archipelago by the PIFSC Life History program. Specific data included are from PIFSC cruises SE-14-04 and SE-14-05.

These datasets show commercial fisheries catch weight landings of directed fisheries and bycatch from the Scotian Shelf, the Bay of Fundy, and Georges Bank from NAFO Divisions 4VWX and the Canadian portions of 5Y and 5Z. Atlantic Canadian inter-regional maps of four species (Atlantic Halibut, Bluefin Tuna, Redfish and Scallop) are also included from NAFO Divisions 4RST, 3KLMNOP, and 2GHJ. Five-year composite maps (2014–2018) that aggregate catches for each map series are publicly available. The maps aggregate catch weight (kg) per 10 km2 hexagon grid cell for selected species, species groupings and gear types to identify important fishing areas. These maps may be used for decision making in coastal and oceans management, including marine spatial planning, environmental emergency response operations and protocols, Marine Stewardship Council certification processes, marine protected area networks, and ecological risk assessment. These datasets have been filtered to comply with the Government of Canada's privacy policy. Privacy assessments were conducted to identify NAFO unit areas containing data with less than five vessel IDs, licence IDs or fisher IDs. If this threshold was not met, catch weight locations were withheld from these unit areas to protect the identity or activity of individual vessels or companies. Maps were created for the following species, species groupings and gear types: 1. Groundfish (all species) 2. Groundfish Bottom Trawl 3. Groundfish Gillnet 4. Groundfish Bottom Longline 5. Groundfish (quarterly composites Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) 6. Atlantic Cod 7. Atlantic Cod, Haddock and Pollock 8. Flatfish 9. Atlantic Halibut 10. Greenland Halibut (Turbot) 11. Hagfish 12. Cusk 13.

Download a map document showing Pacific sand lance and Surf smelt spawning habitat in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia. To do this the map utilizes two datasets: The Predicted Suitable Forage Fish Habitat data which was calculated using the ShoreZone database. Additional information about this dataset can be found here. A Forage Fish Spawning Beach Monitoring dataset that contains data from beach sampling of Pacific sand lance and Surf smelt spawn events. This dataset is assembled by Strait of Georgia Data Centre staff using data submissions from a network of organizations (e.g. Sea Watch, MABBRI, Peninsula Streams Society) that often employ the help of citizen scientists to conduct their efforts. There is a parent metadata record for this dataset here, from which you can access child record about some of the individual survey efforts (e.g. child record titled 'Forage fish habitat monitoring data in the Capital Regional District, 2018+).

This USGS data release documents coarse ranges for 257 fish species in the conterminous United States for level 8 hydrologic units from the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD). These range maps were derived by combining known fish occurrence information from four data sources: point occurrences from the Aquatic Gap Analysis Project (AGAP) fish database, stream segment (i.e., NHDPlusV2.1 COMID) occurrences from the IchthyMaps dataset, point occurrences from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), and HUC-8 level range maps developed by NatureServe. Data can be linked to geospatial units of the WBD using the HUC8 field. Data are provided in comma separated value (CSV) and zipped Parquet file formats. Parquet file format is provided to help facilitate faster download and read capabilities when using compatible packages in coding languages such as R and Python. Source data from GBIF are also included in range_source_data_gbif.csv and are further documented at https://doi.org/10.15468/dd.qctv4s.
