Fisheries Sensitivity Maps in British Waters This information has been produced by the Fisheries Agencies with support from Oil & Gas UK, the Scottish Fishermen's Federation (SFF) and the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations (NFFO). It has two primary purposes. Firstly, it seeks to provide information to enable all interested parties better to understand the potential for interaction between the fishing and offshore oil and gas industries. Secondly, it seeks to encourage meaningful dialogue in order that competing concerns can be addressed and, wherever possible, dealt with as early as possible in the planning process. It will also aid the newly introduced environmental impact assessment process, and will inform seismic, exploration, field development and decommissioning activities and the preparation of oil spill response strategies.
