I am planning my sump build and I was just wondering what the purpose is? Is this so the fuge area gets skimmed also? Is it necessary or recommended?

Are you talking about like the fish cut out in that baffle separating the 2 chambers?
If so my guess is so that the skimmer section and fuge is separated so that the there isnt a lot of flow but water still passes between the chambers. If I remember correctly refugiums arent supposed to have a lot of flow.
