I am attempting to show spatial patterns of change for their spearfishing and lobster fishery which they have statistics for covering the past 10 years. The statistics are recorded in relation to grid cells which are displayed on a map given to all fishermen. For instance, for the year 2011-2012 103 lobsters were caught in gird cell D5. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am assuming I need to create the grid and clip it to my base map of Bermuda- but I am unsure of how to input the statistics data so that each cell shows in a color coded form the amount of lobster caught for each year. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated!!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 06 Aug 2013 14:46:11 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-spatial-analyst-questions/spatial-patterns-of-fisheries-using-a-grid/m-p/359757#M5049 MorvenRobertson 2013-08-06T14:46:11Z Re: Spatial patterns of fisheries using a grid https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-spatial-analyst-questions/spatial-patterns-of-fisheries-using-a-grid/m-p/359758#M5050 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Elizabeth,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I don't see any reason this would be done with a raster dataset.
