3. With respect to your Office's territory within the IFG, what was the total number of all known gear conflicts during 2012
(including those not formally reported, but known to have occurred)?

4. What percentage of the total in Q3 was formally reported to Marine Scotland Compliance or others agencies within Marine Scotland?
(Marine Scotland gear conflict intelligence data is appended to assist you answering this questionnaire) %

5. Please try and estimate the percentage of the total known gear conflicts in Q3 occurring in each of the following distance zones.

0-1 nautical mile from shore %

1-3 nautical miles from shore %

3-6 nautical miles from shore %

6. Please try and estimate the total known gear conflicts in 2012 occurring immediately outside your territory but within 6-12 nautical miles from the shore.
