Review the extent of how new survey data affect usage estimates: Report to Marine Scotland MMSS/001/11 MR 5.1.3

Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

Currently (in the MR5.1.1 task) survey count data are averaged over the historical duration of data collection within each 5km cell. Thus recent survey counts in regions that have been frequently surveyed will have lesser influence on the usage maps than recent counts in areas where surveys have not been frequent.

This situation could be improved by modelling recent regional trends in counts, such that predicted maps of usage can be produced at all sites for current or recent years.
