WGSFD provides estimates of spatial distribution of fishing effort and develops further methods and indices, for example those representing fishing intensity and frequency. This includes indicators supporting advice regarding the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). In the future the group will continue fostering the development of new methodologies and develop concepts related to the investigation of interactions between fishing and the ecosystem.
