| Lineage | The dataset shows the area used by cargo, pleasure, military, fishing, cruiships and all other boats around the Falkland Islands. AIS data for one year were used to identify anchorage areas by using a speed treshold of <0.5 knot and identifying hotspots of ship locations at those speeds. Polygons covering all identified areas were created and classified as 'high', 'medium' and 'low'. High: Fishing vessels and cruisehips + Mare Harbour, the military port area. Numerous anchoring , up 30-40 boats per week; Medium: Concordia Bay + Cruise ships in summer (up to 4 ships anchoring per week during tourism season); Low: Only the Concordia Bay or small number of cruise ships, hence once every 2-6 weeks in summer and less often in winter. The map was checked and approved by the Falkland Islands harbour master (Malcolm Jamieson). |
