The Dogger Bank is a large sandbank located in the shallow part of the North Sea, approximately 100 kilometers (62 miles) off the east coast of England. It is historically and currently a significant fishing ground for various species.
Fishing banks are elevated areas of the seafloor, often shallow, which are biologically productive and serve as rich fishing grounds. Their location determines which coastal region they are off.
