AEBAR 2012: Protected species: Fur seals
Figure 4.1: Distribution of trawl fishing effort and observed NZ fur seal captures, 2002-03 to 2010-11 (for more
information see http://data.dragonfly.co.nz/psc/). Fishing effort is mapped into 0.2-degree cells, with the colour of
each cell being related to the amount of effort. Observed fishing events are indicated by black dots, and observed
captures are indicated by red dots. Fishing is only shown if the effort could be assigned a latitude and longitude, and
if there were three or more vessels fishing within a cell. In this case, 96.0% of the effort is shown.
