<p>This map presents charter angling skippers fishing areas falling within 100km2 grids based on ICES boxes Ecoregions VIa, VIIa, VIIb, VIIj2, VIIb (<a href='https://www.ices.dk/data/Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2fdata%2fDocuments%2fMaps&amp;FolderCTID=0x012000ACF6FBA45737584389AD23DD43BB914C' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>ICES Ecoregions</a>) up to a range of 100km off the Irish coast. The areas identified tend to be fished regularly and consistently by skippers, based in Irish ports - and their angling clients annually. Data collected from individual interviews of 45 highly active skippers has been visualised in this map. Up to 100 skippers are active, with varying levels of activity observed (low to high) depending on the skipper.</p>
