We showed that the use of paired lasers greatly improved the accuracy of the measurement of crustacean body size using on-board camera systems, thus confirming the findings of previous work by the Fisheries and Conservation group of Bangor University, North Wales.

On adoption of the MPS the Welsh Government was obliged to ensure that marine plans are prepared for the Welsh Marine Planning Region (HM Government 2009b). The Welsh National Marine Plan (WNMP) should emerge using an evidence base developed from a wide range of sources including existing plans, the plan area community, science advisors, statutory and other advisors, industry and other marine users (HM Government 2011). The present study is designed to inform the marine planning process by providing comprehensive insights into the distribution, extent and types of recreational sea angling (RSA) that occur in Wales such that these activities can be considered in the development of the WNMP.
