Irish Marine Sports Fish Tagging Programme Dataset

Point features representing shore angling locations, with a shore mark name, description, coordinates, species, assessment date, county and river basin district. Published by the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment and covering Ireland.

This map presents charter angling skippers fishing areas falling within 100km2 grids based on ICES boxes Ecoregions VIa, VIIa, VIIb, VIIj2, VIIb (ICES Ecoregions) 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.

This dataset comprises electrofishing survey data collected from 2021 onward to support the National Brown Trout Programme (NBTP) within the IFI Research Division. Surveys were conducted using standardised electrofishing methods to assess brown trout populations at selected sites. The purpose of this dataset is to support long-term monitoring, inform trout conservation efforts and contribute to national fisheries management strategies. REST (JSON)
