Survey : HUXL/24/1903 (part of CEFAS Historic surveys)

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the CEFAS Historic surveys;

Station and biological data collected during research surveys carried out by 
Cefas (formerly Directorate of Fisheries) in seas around the UK, mostly in the 
North Sea, since 1902. The survey hauls are not laid out systematically as a 
grid, as in current International Bottom Trawl Surveys (IBTS) and are widely 
distributed over (especially) southern and central North Sea areas. Gears and 
protocols were not standardised throughout, due to the long term nature of the 
series. Surveys took place in each season. Data are lacking for the periods of 
both World Wars. In some periods (e.g. the early 1900s), all species caught 
were recorded, whereas in other periods (e.g. 1920s-30s), only the key 
commercial species (e.g., Plaice, Sole and Cod) were recorded systematically. 
Note that some surveys targeted particular species (notably Plaice).

Survey took place between 11/12/1903 and 18/12/1903 on Huxley

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Grimsby style otter trawl Codend with mesh 6.8cm
-   Lowestoft smack beam trawl 43ft 13.1m

Survey operations were undertaken on 24 stations

Survey : CEND 3/10 (part of Data Collection Regulation Survey, Qtr 1 (FSS: DCRDC))

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the Data Collection Regulation 
Survey, Qtr 1 (FSS: DCRDC);

Six surveys of a series to collect biological data on fish stocks in support 
of the EU Data Collection Regulation (DCR). Fishing was undertaken using a 
Portuguese High Headline Trawl (PHHT) and 4m Beam Trawl, using a subset of the 
station grid previously fished on Cefas Celtic Sea Groundfish Surveys. The 
station grid was not a fixed target and was deviated from as dictated by 
weather, catch rates and/or sampling needs.

Survey took place between 01/02/2010 and 15/02/2010 on CEFAS Endeavour

Survey : EHOLT/01/1955 (part of Historic Arctic Survey Series)

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the Historic Arctic Survey 
Series;

*Gadus morhua* (Atlantic Cod) stocks in the Barents Sea are currently at 
levels not seen since the 1950s. Causes for the population increase last 
century, and understanding of whether such large numbers will be maintained in 
the future, are unclear. To explore this, we digitised and interrogated 
historical cod catch and diet datasets from the Barents Sea. Data includes 
temporal and spatial information, cod catch data and length distributions, and 
hydrographic data.

North East coast cod 2006/07 - Fisheries Science Partnership survey

The North East (NE) Coast (of England) cod survey is a designated time-series 
survey conducted since 2003 as part of the UK Fisheries Science Partnership 
(FSP). The NE Coast cod surveys in 2003 and 2004 were largely exploratory, 
examining factors such as the effect of gear type and time of day on catch 
rates of cod and other species. The objective of the survey series is to 
provide year-on-year comparative information on distribution, relative 
abundance and size/age composition of NE coast cod and whiting. The surveys 
also provide data on catches of other species important to the NE coast 
fishery, including haddock.

UK Disposal Site Layer

A GIS Shapefile showing the extents of the Licenced Marine Disposal Sites for all 
of UK, including England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey and 
Isle of Man. Marine Disposal Sites are regulated under the London Convention / 
London Protocol of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), wherein disposal 
of waste at sea ("disposal at sea") is prohibited except for certain exempt 
materials (Annex 1 at 
`https://www.imo.org/en/OurWork/Environment/Pages/London-Convention-Protocol.aspx`_
 [accessed 6th June 2023]). To dispose of an exempt material at sea, a disposal 
site must be identified, characterised and designated, such that reporting of 
annual disposal at sea volumes can be made to the IMO biennially, and OSPAR 
annually. This dataset comprises the repository of these designated sites.

Upon designation, a site is considered "Open"; available to that regulator for 
licensing. If the site has had no licensed disposals in more than 5 years, it is 
considered "Disused"; available to that regulator for licensing but may require 
additional supporting evidence. If the site has had no licensed disposals in more 
than 10 years, it is considered "Closed"; not available to that regulator for 
licensing. A regulator can also request that an Open or Disused site with disposal 
activity within 10 years be considered Closed on request. 

A number of these sites are considered "historic" or "legacy" disposal sites, 
which whilst being officially designated with the UK's ratification of the London 
Convention / London Protocol, were used before the treaty came into force. Sites 
identified, characterised and designated after the UK's ratification are 
considered new disposal sites.
