Metadata: Marine Non Native Species (NNS) records from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) Monitoring Research and Ad-hoc Sightings (extracted from Marine Recorder)
Abstract:
This dataset comprises of marine surveys undertaken by the Natural Resources Wales (NRW) (and former Countryside Council for Wales) for Marine non-native species, currently held in Marine Recorder. These datasets have been packaged for dissemination onto the NBN Gateway. The purpose of this data capture was to collate and monitor the spread of non-native species in Wales. The surveys represent on-going non-native monitoring, sightings and ad-hoc records of invasive and non-native species supplied to NRW or noted outside of other research and monitoring work. This published dataset is kept separate from other species survey data provided by NRW, to allow it to be updated more often. This data will contribute to the information already available in the UK non native species portal.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 8845 |
| 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. | Marine Non Native Species (NNS) records from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) Monitoring Research and Ad-hoc Sightings (extracted from Marine Recorder) |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | 1998-ongoing CCW Sargassum muticum (NNS) records for Wales, 2015 NRW Monitoring of Chinese Mitten Crabs (Eriocheir sinensis) on the River Dee (NNS), 2011 CCW/SOS Across Wales Non-Native Species (NNS) Survey, 2013 NRW / Grateloupia turuturu records Milford Haven survey 2013 INNS, 2014 NRW Comprehensive reassessment of NNS in Welsh marinas, 2016 NRW towed video survey North Angelsey INNS & Sabellaria |
| 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_DS116352 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-313136333532 |
| 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 | 1998-06-23 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2017-10-12 |
| 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. | Incidental records taken as part of the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) Phase 1 Intertidal Survey were recorded as part of a timed count. The surveys related to invasive species around Welsh marinas are part of an on-going rapid assessments for presence/absence of marine Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) in Welsh marinas. Assessments were conducted by visual inspection of the entire marina and associated structures from the surface followed by snorkel surveys where non-natives were observed or where native biota composition suggested that marina habitat was amenable to non-native colonisation. Some surveys (such as those monitoring Chinese Mitten Crabs include both ad-hoc recording and fyke netting techniques. |
