Fishing activities may be restricted from operating in certain areas to preserve the fishing stocks, protect sensible or declining species or even habitats. The fisheries closure layer shows where fishing is not allowed for one or more fleets.
This is a static but editable layer, the ecossytem simulation will take into account the areas where fisheries are not allowed. If the fisheries closure is not specific to a fishing fleet, all fishing fleets will be considered banned from the area.
The fisheries closure layer is only available in the North Sea Digitwin Edition and covers only the Dutch EEZ.
