Table 1c. Commercial fisheries data showing percentage catches per impact zone for fisheries in which<br />
data were not supplied for the whole <strong>Namibia</strong>n EEZ (Note that % calculations ONLY include the area up to<br />
100km from the MLA for these fisheries data for the whole EEZ were not used)<br />

Explanation of Tables 1a, b and c: The percentages in Zones reflect the following:<br />
SP-1, 2 and 3 : % of catch and effort in actual areas to be mined of total <strong>Namibia</strong>n historical catch and<br />
effort for years specified (direct impact)<br />
MLA : Historical catch and effort in the whole Mine Lease Area as a % of the total <strong>Namibia</strong>n catch and<br />
effort for the years specified (likely impact)<br />
Zone 1 : Historical catch and effort in Zone (1) only [MLA margin to 25 km] as a proportion of the total<br />
<strong>Namibia</strong>n catch and effort (equation 1 – see section 6.3) (likely impact).<br />
Zone 2 : Historical catch and effort in Zone (2) only [>25 to 50 km margin] as a proportion of the total<br />
<strong>Namibia</strong>n catch and effort (equation 1 – see section 6.3)(indirect impact)<br />
Zone 3 : Historical catch and effort in Zone (3) only [>50 to 100 km margin] as a proportion of the total<br />
<strong>Namibia</strong>n catch and effort (equation 1 – see section 6.3)(indirect impact)<br />
Zone 4 : Historical catch and effort in Zone (4) [>100 km to EEZ) as a proportion of the total <strong>Namibia</strong>n<br />
catch and effort (equation 1 – see section 6.3)(indirect impact)<br />
Table 1c : Column MLA: Mining will or will not result in fishing being affected based on recent catch and<br />
effort reported in the MLA – yes / no<br />
