Metadata: Collection Activity and Crab Survey in the Menai Strait (2009)
Abstract:
Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) are strictly protected sites designated under the EC Habitats Directive. In the Menai Strait and Conwy Bay SAC the relevant Annex I intertidal habitat features are Mudflats and sandflats not covered by seawater at low tide and Reefs. Specific areas of interest include areas of tide-swept bedrock and boulders and areas of tide-swept Fucus serratus on mixed sediment along the Menai Strait. In previous studies it was noted that a portion of the boulders had been turned by bait collectors. Surveys to assess bait collection activity and crab counts were carried out along the length of the shoreline of the Menai Strait using student volunteers. Data quality and confidence considered high.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 8806 |
| 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. | Collection Activity and Crab Survey in the Menai Strait (2009) |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | 2009 CCW Menai Strait and Conwy Bay SAC collecting activity and crab survey MRCCW3000000005D |
| 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_DS115077 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-313135303737 |
| 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 | 2009-06-25 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2009-06-26 |
| 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 intertidal zone of each site was divided into approximately 200 m long sections and given 'shore block' codes. In each shore block the amount of collecting activity was observed for 10 minutes and recorded; winkle collectors and peeler collectors were noted as well as any unknown activities. The boulder turning frequency was also recorded for each shore block. In addition, the surveyors worked along the lower-mid shore evaluating the number of turned boulders; 30 boulders were checked in each shore block. Crab counts were also recorded; juvenile Carcinus maenas, adult Carcinus maenas and juvenile Cancer pagurus. |
