Real Time and Juvenile Closures Web Feature Service (WFS)

This dataset provides the spatial extent of Real time closures (RTC) and Juvenile closures since April 2010. The purpose of RTCs are to ensure sufficient efforts are made to reduce cod mortality. Closures are taken from those areas with the highest cod catch rate (per hour), based on data from historical landings per unit effort (LPUE) over the previous 4 years. In September 2009 the European Community and Norway agreed to implement an RTC scheme in the North Sea and Skagerrak for the protection of juvenile cod, haddock, whiting and saithe. The Juvenile closures scheme is independent of the UK RTC scheme in place for cod. Incursions are enforced directly through the European legislation (Commission Regulation 724/2009). For the purposes of completeness the Juvenile closures have been included in this dataset.本数据集提供了2010年4月以来的实时禁渔区（Real Time Closures, RTC）与幼鱼保护禁渔区的空间范围。实时禁渔区的设立目的是确保采取充足措施以降低鳕鱼死亡率。禁渔区的划定基于过去四年的单位捕捞努力量渔获量（Landings Per Unit Effort, LPUE）历史数据，选取单位小时鳕鱼捕捞率最高的区域。 2009年9月，欧洲共同体与挪威达成协议，在北海和斯卡格拉克海峡实施实时禁渔区计划，以保护幼年期鳕鱼、黑线鳕、牙鳕和绿青鳕。该幼鱼保护禁渔区计划独立于英国现行的鳕鱼保护实时禁渔区计划。违规闯入行为将直接依据欧盟立法（欧盟委员会条例724/2009）进行执法处置。为确保数据集的完整性，本数据集已纳入幼鱼保护禁渔区相关数据。
