Bydd hyn yn ein galluogi i gael darlun llawn a chywir o weithgarwch cychod pysgota ym mharth Cymru, a chychod cofrestredig o Gymru lle bynnag y bônt, i wella’r ffordd y caiff pysgodfeydd a’r amgylchedd morol eu rheoli. Mae data sy'n gysylltiedig â dosbarthiad gofodol ac adeg yr ymdrech bysgota yn hanfodol i reoli pysgodfeydd a'r amgylchedd morol ehangach yn effeithiol, gan gynnwys Ardaloedd Morol Gwarchodedig (MPA) a Chynllunio Morol. Nid yw data o'r fath yn bodoli ar hyn o bryd ar gyfer y fflyd bysgota dan 12 metr sy'n cynrychioli 97% o gychod pysgota cofrestredig Cymru.
This will allow us to gain a full and accurate picture of fishing vessel activity in the Welsh zone, and for Welsh registered vessels wherever they may be, to improve fisheries and marine environment management. Data related to the spatial and temporal distribution of fishing effort is fundamental to the effective management of fisheries and the wider marine environment, including Marine Protected Areas (MPA) and Marine Planning. Such data does not currently exist for the under 12 metre fishing fleet which make up ~97% of Welsh registered fishing vessels.
