This is an Official Statistics in Development release.
The publication presents information from the Landings Enriched Approach to Positional FISHeries Data (LEAPFISH) for 2024. LEAPFISH combines landings data for UK vessels and Crown Dependency vessels that are 12 metres and over, with Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) information to provide a more detailed spatial understanding of fishing activity.
LEAPFISH provides estimates of weight, value, time spent at sea and fishing effort at 0.05 c-square resolution, providing finer spatial detail than landings data published in UK Sea Fisheries Statistics 2024
An accompanying spatial data layer will also be available on Defra Data Services Platform shortly after the statistics release.
