programme MapWindow GIS (available at: http://shape2earth.com). Images were captured at a consistent scale (Google Earth scale bar at 900 m), although some
exceptions to this were necessary because of the varied quality and resolution of the
Google Earth imagery. The captured images were imported into ArcMap 10 (ESRI), and
served as the baseline that the coastal-habitat shapefiles were digitized onto. Digitizing was generally performed at a 1:8000 scale, although, as above, the varied resolution of the imagery occasionally necessitated zooming in or out from this base scale. The WGS84 (Universal Transverse Mercator) projection was used for all shapefiles. The coastline was dissolved and the new Walvis Bay container terminal added manually.

METHODS:
· VMS point location data for all vessels in each of the nine fisheries were collated for the
period 2014 – 2017. The data were cleaned, including removal of clear errors (e.g. points
on land) and clipped to the study area.
· Points were converted into a raster density layer, using a kernel density approach. This
used a 0.005° cell size and a 0.075° search distance using planar units.
· Density layers were then iteratively explored using a quantile based approach to identify
the cut-off for very low density use areas and areas used for transit only, which for all
industries identified the bottom 10% - 15% of used areas as being low use or transit only.
The calibration was done on an expert basis. It identified the mean density of transit only
zones, and then rounded this value up to the next 5 percentile mark. For the next steps
only values above this threshold were evaluated.
· Remaining areas were then split into 10 quantiles, from lower intensity use to highest
intensity use.
· The raster was then converted to a polygon layer.
· Isolated port and anchorage polygons (which would have had high intensity values as
vessels are often found there) were manually identified and exclude from the datasets.
· The above approach gives a set of 10 intensity of use categories from lower intensity use
(1) to highest intensity use (10). The areas deliberately exclude very low use areas.Current Status ReportEPSG:32734geonode:NAM_CSR_FISH_intensity_hake_wet_freeze0NAM CSR Fishing intensity for hake trawlersFishing intensity of hake fishing vessels (trawling)

METHODS:
· VMS point location data for all vessels in each of the nine fisheries were collated for the period 2014 – 2017. The data were cleaned, including removal of clear errors (e.g. points on land) and clipped to the study area.
· Points were converted into a raster density layer, using a kernel density approach. This used a 0.005° cell size and a 0.075° search distance using planar units.
· Density layers were then iteratively explored using a quantile based approach to identify the cut-off for very low density use areas and areas used for transit only, which for all industries identified the bottom 10% - 15% of used areas as being low use or transit only. The calibration was done on an expert basis. It identified the mean density of transit only zones, and then rounded this value up to the next 5 percentile mark. For the next steps only values above this threshold were evaluated.
· Remaining areas were then split into 10 quantiles, from lower intensity use to highest
intensity use.
· The raster was then converted to a polygon layer.
· Isolated port and anchorage polygons (which would have had high intensity values as vessels are often found there) were manually identified and exclude from the datasets.
· The above approach gives a set of 10 intensity of use categories from lower intensity use (1) to highest intensity use (10). The areas deliberately exclude very low use areas.Current Status Report, FishingEPSG:32734geonode:NAM_CSR_FISH_intensity_MonkSole0NAM CSR Fishing intensity of monk and sole vesselsFishing intensity of monk and sole vessels from vessel monitoring systems.
