Beach Seine Intensity | The Beach Seine Intensity falls within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of South Africa was produced for the 2018 National Biodiversity Assessment but was first presented in the National Data Information Resource (NDIR) as part of the Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) process. Noting that the map presented in the NDIR for NetFish is labelled Map 44 which only represents Gill Netting Intensity and the Beach Seine Intensity layer was omitted. Thus the two layers will now be named Map 44a Gill Netting Intensity and Map 44b Beach Seine Intensity. The data is included in the National Data Information Resource to outline the spatial claims and interests of the Beach Seine Sector. |
