Datasets

To download a zip file containing the data described in the 2018 paper, Bottom trawl fishing footprints on the world’s continental shelves, please click here.

Two data files are provided:

    • First, an S4 (R) object containing high resolution trawling activity data and information on regional and depth boundaries used in the analyses (see main paper).
    • Second, a csv file containing predicted trawling footprint and associated uncertainty (based on the uniform assumption, see main paper) as a function of the regional Swept Area ratio.
