Metadata: Skomer Marine Conservation Zone ( MCZ ) - Sediment infauna community data
Abstract:
In 2015 Skomer Marine Nature Reserve changed designation to Skomer Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ). Skomer Marine Nature Reserve (MNR) was designated in 1990. Species abundance data from grab samples within Skomer MNR from 1993 onwards. Complimented by sediment grain size analysis and various oil content measures. The purpose of this data capture was to monitor the sediment infauna community within Skomer Marine Nature Reserve.

| 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. | NRW_DS101860 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-313031383630 |
| 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 | 1993-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2007-09-30 |
| 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'. | irregular |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | In 2015 Skomer Marine Nature Reserve changed designation to Skomer Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ). Skomer Marine Nature Reserve (MNR) was designated in 1990. Species abundance data from grab samples within Skomer MNR from 1993 onwards. Complimented by sediment grain size analysis and various oil content measures. The purpose of this data capture was to monitor the sediment infauna community within Skomer Marine Nature Reserve. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Sediment samples were taken consisting of: 10 sites - 2 replicates using a 0.1m2 day grab sieved with a 0.5mm sieve. 3rd grab taken for sediment analysis. Ongoing sampling every 4/5 years. The 1993, 1996 and 1998 data contributed to the Pembrokeshire Marine Species Atlas, see separate metadata entry. Additional sampling in 1996 due to Sea Empress oil spill. |
