Description: A smoothed outline of Aotearoa New Zealand’s coast was used to construct coastal segments of roughly 10 km width (depending on complexity of the coastline), extending out to the 12 nm Territorial Sea limit. Recreational activities and recreational fishing intensity can have significant impacts on coastal and marine ecosystems. Recreational fishing can have similar or greater impacts on fish populations as commercial fishing in some areas. The number of fishing clubs within the 10 km segment was tallied from information provided in a summary of recreational use of the marine environment held by the Department of Conservation (DOC) (Visitor Solutions 2013). Because these segments don’t occur in isolation, a 10 km buffer was used around each coastal segment to capture roads in inland and adjacent coastal areas.Limitations and Uncertainties:We recognise that 10 km coastal segments are arbitrary boundaries for the NZ coastline, and further, that we extended all values for each polygon out to the 12 nm Territorial Sea boundary to allow better visualisation of how land-based inputs and population accessibility vary in NZ. This extension seaward is arbitrary, and does not incorporate likely decreasing impacts offshore from the coast. Segments for Stewart Island were not included and for coastlines with large, narrow inlets, such as in Fiordland, segments do not include the inner fiords as this would increase the segment size, making comparisons between segments less consistent. Fishing club presence does not include an estimate of membership size or scale of fishing activity.Source: https://www.nzsportfishing.co.nz/our-clubs/Department of Conservation 2012.
