Metadata: Extent and Distribution of Saline Lagoons in Wales (2009)
Abstract:
Coastal saline lagoons are an unusual and rare habitat in the UK, where they are recognized as a \key\" habitat under the Biodiversity Action Plan. The EC Council Habitats Directive on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora identified coastal lagoons as a priority habitat. Work carried out identified 14 saline or potential saline lagoons and ponds in Wales four of which are identified as of high conservation merit. The extent of these lagoons have been mapped . A secondary layer showing the extent of other pools that were investigated is also available. The purpose of this digitisation was to provide one collated layer showing the extent and distribution of saline lagoons in Wales. This layer may also be used as the basis for monitoring the extent of saline lagoons and therefore as a contribution to an assessment of their conservation status and to provide one collated layer showing the extent and distribution of saline lagoons in Wales. This layer may also be used as the basis for monitoring the extent of saline lagoons and therefore as a contribution to an assessment of their conservation status. This layer was created in January 2009 based on information provided by CCW Contract Science Report No. 464 (see related titles)."

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 8600 |
| 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. | Extent and Distribution of Saline Lagoons in Wales (2009) |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | OtherPoolsSurveyed2009_v1.TAB, SalineLagoons2009_V2.TAB |
| 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_DS109756 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-313039373536 |
| 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 | 2009-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2009-12-31 |
| 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. | The lagoon boundaries have been digitised from OS Mastermap (2008) or where the boundaries were not available from COWI-Vexcel aerial photos (2006), flown at 40cm resolution. The collated dataset topologically was cleaned and checked.
