Metadata: Intertidal Marine Mud and Muddy Gravel Characterisation in the Menai Strait
Abstract:
Several rich marine mud and muddy gravel habitats were identified within the Menai Strait by the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) Marine Intertidal Phase 1 survey team and a sampling programme initiated in order to better characterise the intertidal communities of these habitats. Marine mud and muddy gravel habitats are an important feature of several candidate Special Area of Conservation (SACs), including the Menai Strait and Conwy Bay cSACs. Species lists for these habitats within the Menai Strait have not been compiled since 1982. This report details sampling work and laboratory analysis undertaken in order to characterise the intertidal communities of these habitats. Several rich marine mud and muddy gravel habitats were identified within the Menai Strait by the CCW Marine Intertidal Phase 1 survey team and a sampling programme initiated in order to better characterise the intertidal communities of these habitats.

| 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. | Intertidal Marine Mud and Muddy Gravel Characterisation in the Menai Strait |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | 2002 CCW Marine mud and muddy gravel characterisation in the Menai Strait MRCCW30000000031 |
| 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_DS101980 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-313031393830 |
| 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 | 2002-08-12 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2002-08-14 |
| 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'. | notPlanned |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Intertidal core sampling was undertaken using Marine Nature Conservation Review (MNCR) Phase 2 sampling methodologies and recording forms, and a total of 21 samples were collected, for both macrofaunal and granulometric analysis at 7 sites. A total of 182 species and higher taxa groups were recorded across all sites. CCW Marine Intertidal Phase 1 survey team recorded several rich marine mud and muddy gravel habitats within the Menai Strait in 1999 - 2001. |
