ATLANTIC_CH02_Product_1 / MPA Atlantic network classified in IUCN classification

We took inspiration from a “Matrix of marine activities” (appropriate for each IUCN management category) extracted from IUCN paper, to achieve the first objective by computing 1 product comprising the following 12 components:


Product ATLANTIC_CH02_Product_1 / MPA Atlantic network classified in IUCN classification


• Traditional fishing area

• Sustainable fishing area (industrial)

• Leisure fishing area

• Leisure activity area (diving, surfing, tourist beaches)

• Shipping area (shipping trajectory, aids navigation)

• Scientific activity area

• Renewable energy generation facility area (ocean energy facilities, wind farms)

• Aquaculture area (finfish production, shellfish production)

• Shipping infrastructure area (harbours, dredging area...)

• Waste discharge area

• Mining area (aggregate extraction, hydrocarbon extraction)

• Habitation area (urban area)


Each geographic information required for the components was compiled into a layer in grid format. These grids were intersected with the MPAs layer to assign each MPA a IUCN category according to the conditional matrix illustrated below :


If the MPA area contains : Habitation area (urban area) The IUCN category is :V

If the MPA area contains : Mining area (aggregate extraction, hydrocarbon extraction) The IUCN category is V

If the MPA area contains : Waste discharge area The IUCN category is : V

If the MPA area contains : Shipping infrastructure area (harbours, dredging area...) The IUCN category is IV

If the MPA area contains : Aquaculture area (finfish production, shellfish production) The IUCN category is IV

If the MPA area contains : Renewable energy generation facility area (ocean energy facilities, wind farms) The IUCN category is IV

If the MPA area contains : Leisure fishing area The IUCN category is IV

If the MPA area contains : Sustainable fishing area (industrial) The IUCN category is IV

If the MPA area contains : Shipping area (shipping trajectory, aids navigation) The IUCN category is II

If the MPA area contains : Leisure activity area (diving, surfing, tourist beaches) The IUCN category is Ib

If the MPA area contains : Traditional fishing area The IUCN category is Ib

If the MPA area contains : Scientific activity area The IUCN category is Ia

This EMODnet Atlantic Checkpoint data product (the “Product”) is the result of a “challenge” stress test specified by the call for tenders No MARE/2012/11. The challenge partners ( "the producer") were commissioned to perform a number of tests to evaluate marine data according to set user requirements. This product and any resultant data and metadata produced is a consequence of these tests and provided for interest only. The Product is provided on an “as is” basis, and the producer disclaims any and all warranties, conditions, or representations (express, implied, oral or written), relating to the Product or any part thereof, including, without limitation, any and all implied warranties of quality, performance, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose to the full extent permitted by law. The Producer and the Atlantic Checkpoint partners accept no liability for loss suffered or incurred as a result of reliance on the Product or any output of its use. The Producer shall not be liable for any economic loss, loss of profit, loss of business or contract, depletion of goodwill or otherwise, in each case whether direct, or indirect or any indirect loss whatsoever (howsoever caused) including loss or damage suffered as a result of an action brought by any person which arise out of or in connection with the use of the Product or inability to use the Product

Resource constraints

Use limitation

Good: The product meets more than 50% of the objectives specified by the challenge

Use limitation

Product was achieved partially due to lack of information essential for computing the IUCN index.

1) Some information does not exist :

• Traditional fishing

2) Some information is not available :

• Fishing activities

• Shipping

3) Some information does exist but is scattered so takes a long time to collate:

• Scientific activities

• Leisure or recreational activities (diving, surfing, sailing, whale watching...)

• MPA management information

ATLANTIC_CH02_Product_1 / MPA Atlantic network classified in IUCN classification - Traditional fishing area

 

Component is not covered because data does not exist

 

Traditional fishing is not mapped or rarely is. When the information exists, it is not in the form of a GIS: it has to be be retrieved from MPAs management documents, which is quite time consuming.

Component is not covered because data does not exist

 

Fishing activity data is not available in the study area. In order to achieve the component a screenshot capture was made from the site http://globalfishingwatch.org/map/ and subsequently georeferenced.
