Live Fish Movements Database |
| The Live Fish Movements Database contains all relevant information on fish farm registration, fish imports (from the EU and third countries), fish movements (internal farm transfers and introductions to inland waters), and the keeping of non-native fish in England and Wales. |

WaveNet: Coastal Wave Monitoring |
A real-time strategic wave monitoring network designed for Defra that provides a single source of real time wave data from a network of wave buoys located in areas at risk from flooding. Data from this network will be used to improve the management of flood and coastal erosion risk, and can be used to help design improved flood defence schemes. |

Interactive Spatial Explorer & Administrator (iSEA) |
An interactive mapping server developed by Cefas providing online access to environmental and fisheries data for the UK shelf and beyond. |
|
Example Outputs of Cefas' Information SystemsIntegrated information systems allow analysis of complex issues using appropriate visual outputs from a wide range of data sources and inputs. Listed below are examples demonstrating the versatility of Cefas Information Systems in environmental & fisheries management use: |
|
 |
Visual Presentation of spatial data Mean Relative Density of Herring Larvae (9-10mm) between 1998-2000 |
 |
Identifying areas of interest and using zoom facilities Herring Spawning Sensitivity in the Eastern English Channel |
 |
Displaying model outputs Model outputs displaying predicted density and environmental suitability of Age 1+ Cod in the North Sea region. |
 |
Data tracking analysis from historical or live inputs Predicted Individual Cod movement from Data Storage Tag information |
 |
Using information systems for data predictions Predicted Kernel home range and density of space use of Butterflyfish (C. austriacus) in the Red Sea |
 |
Generating appropriate visual outputs for analysis Nursery and spawning grounds in the Irish Sea |
 |
Monitoring and Assessing Environmental Impacts Monitoring at offshore disposal sites |
 |
Solving problems for the Water Framework Directive Defining Transitional and Coastal Water Typologies |
 |
Integrated Information from the Energy Industry and the Fisheries Industry Beam trawling intensity and pipeline positions in the Irish Sea. |
