Byra Spatial Risk Assessment (ByRA) Outputs – Seabirds in the Celtic Sea

The Byra Spatial Risk dataset represents outputs from a habitat and species risk assessment conducted within the Celtic Sea as part of the Marine Beacon Project. The dataset integrates seabird abundance data and fishing effort layers to produce maps of bycatch risk. Outputs are designed to support ecosystem-based management, particularly identifying areas of high risk. The primary purpose of this dataset is to evaluate and visualize spatial patterns of risk to seabird species in the Celtic Sea, integrating fisheries data, and species distributions to inform spatial–temporal management planning.
