Includes the use of SCUBA diving, surface supply diving or snorkeling (free diving) to catch fishes and invertebrates for commercial purposes. Excludes all other forms of fishing and recreational SCUBA/snorkeling.
The general use footprint includes all areas in which the use is known to occur with some regularity (over the past 3-5 years), regardless of its frequency or intensity.
Dominant use areas are defined as ocean areas routinely used by most users most of the time (within the seasonal patterns for that use). |
