The dataset describes the areas used by the Royal Navy as firing ranges for naval excercises in coastal waters in the Falkland Islands. Navy ships fire from the sea to the land (the polygon include the sea area where the ships operate and the land area where they fire).The areas were digitised according to the geographical coordinates provided by Cdr Bill Dawson. The data were originated as part of the Darwin Plus- funded project 'Marine Spatial Planning for the Falkland Islands' (July 2014-July 2016).
