The following request is associated with this response: I was wondering if I could please make a request for the VMS and sightings fishing data for ICES Rectangle 38E6 for years 2014 to 2017.

The following is treated as a separate EIR request – see email referencing FoI/18/00107:

I have also made a previous request (FoI/17/02868) and was wondering if I could possibly add to that data set by requesting November and December 2017 for the same rectangles (given below).
