Aggregated trawling data for 2014 retrieved from the VMSbase system
This WFS dataset provides aggregated maps of Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) trawling activity around Malta for 2014, covering January, February, and April through December. The maps display the intensity of VMS signals rather than fishing effort, derived using the VMSbase open-source software together with RStudio (version 0.98.1091), following methods learned at a VMSbase training course held at IMC-CNR, Ancona, Italy. The dataset is published by the Planning Authority of Malta and is accessible without authentication, offering geospatial insight into trawling patterns within Maltese waters during the reference period.”These datasets (Jan, Feb, April-December 2014) were produced in aggregated maps by showing the intensity of VMS (and not the effort) by the use of VMSBase-free software and Rstudio software (2009-2014, Inc. Version 0.98.1091) through a knowledge gained at VMSBase Training course, IMC-CNR, Ancona, I…
