Fish abundance and distribution

The dataset on the European Union's fisheries Advisory Councils was created in 2014 by CETMAR for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). It is the result of the aggregation and harmonization of datasets provided by several sources. It is updated as soon as any changes are made in any of the Advisory Councils and is available for viewing and download on EMODnet web portal (Human Activities, https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities). The dataset contains polygons representing the geographical scope, jurisdiction and information for each of the Advisory Councils of the European sea basins. Each polygon has the following attributes (where available): Name, Members, Scope, Sea basin, Legal foundation date, Legal foundation document and a URL-link to the Advisory Council's website.
