Abstract
Spatial and temporal fishing effort (FE) estimates are crucial for informing scientific-based decisions in fisheries management, spatial planning, and conservation. Lower temporal resolution (longer intervals between vessel position registrations) reduces FE accuracy, thus calling for a balance between precision and feasibility for large-scale mapping, such as in European waters. Effective marine management is critically dependent on this kind of accurate, comprehensive, and appropriate data. New EU legislation mandates tracking all fishing vessels, including small-scale fisheries (SSF) (LOA
