The focus area is derived from data on vessel movement density and areas relating to shipping activity, outside of Statutory Harbour Authority (SHA) boundaries. Data on shipping density was extracted from Automatic Information System (AIS) data. The focus area is based on a threshold of at least 600 vessel transits per 1km2 hexagonal cell per annum. Although below the threshold, the route from Milford Haven to Falmouth was also included in the focus area. Small, isolated areas (< 1km2) of apparent shipping activity were removed from the focus area. As SHAs are safeguarded under SAF_01a, shipping activity within SHA boundaries was also removed from the focus area. Data on shipping-related area was derived from UK Hydrographic Office, OceanWise and Natural Resource Wales datasets, and includes anchorages, pilot boarding areas, navigation dredging areas, and traffic separation schemes.
