Metadata: Climate Linked Atlantic Sector Science (CLASS) Programme – Data collection from UK Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) 2018-2023
Abstract:
A collection of geophysical and oceanographic data from several cruises dedicated to the repeated mapping and monitoring of three UK Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Data were collected on the following cruises between 2018-2023: JC166/7, DY103, DY108/9, DY120, DY116, DY130, JC231, DY152, JC237, JC238, JC247. Data collection took place at three UK MPAs: Haig Fras Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) in the Celtic Sea; Whittard Canyon submarine complex, which includes The Canyons MCZ, situated off the south-west UK continental shelf; Darwin Mounds Special Area of Conservation (SAC), situated in the northern Rockall Trough. An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) was used to collect photographic data, sidescan sonar and multibeam bathymetry. Other data included shipboard multibeam bathymetry data; moored ADCP, CTD and sediment trap datasets from repeat mooring deployments; deep glider data; ROV video, pushcores and specimen samples; settling plate experiments; box-cores and mega cores; BioCam imagery. The MPAs under investigation had previously been surveyed on cruises JC035 (2009) and JC125 (2015), hence these cruises formed part of the Fixed Point Observations Underpinning Activity. Here repeated observations and surveys of MPAs and their surroundings aimed to provide insight into the development and recovery of benthic ecosystems following natural and/or anthropogenic impacts. The data collection was undertaken by scientists at the UK’s National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and formed part of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Climate Linked Atlantic Sector Science (CLASS) Programme (NERC grant reference NE/R015953/1).

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 8326 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Climate Linked Atlantic Sector Science (CLASS) Programme – Data collection from UK Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) 2018-2023 |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | British Oceanographic Data Centre record 1048_CLASS_MPAs |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | d3cceaa42d9a50db82459208b9f0783e |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | EDMED7131 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2018-06-19 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2023-05-22 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | asNeeded |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This data collection was acquired, quality controlled, processed and analysed by scientists at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK. Data deemed suitable for re-use by the oceanographic community were submitted to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC). Depending on the data type, data were either archived for long-term storage or ingested into the schemas of the National Oceanographic Database (NODB). During ingestion BODC undertook quality control, documentation and metadata enhancement procedures appropriate to the type of data. For an overview please see http://www.bodc.ac.uk/about/informationtechnology/dataprocessing_steps/. BODC supply full information about data collection, data processing and data quality with all data requests to enable users to assess data suitability themselves. Instrument(s) used to collect data: multi-beam echosounders; benthos samplers; cameras; sediment traps; unconsolidated sediment corers; acoustic backscatter sensors; CTD; water body temperature sensor; current meters. |
