Metadata: Environment (Wales) Act Section 7 and OSPAR: Marine Species
Abstract:
Under the Environment (Wales) Act (2016), Section 7 requires biodiversity lists to be produced. These lists include types of species which are of 'Principal Importance' for the purpose of maintain and enhancing biodiversity in relation to Wales. This list supersedes the duty in Section 42 of the NERC Act 2006. In addition to this marine species can be protected under the OSPAR Convention. The OSPAR convention has established a list of 'threatened and/or declining species and habitats' in the North-East Atlantic. This spatial dataset details the location of those marine species classed of 'Principal Importance' under Section 7 and are regarded as 'threatened or declining' under OSPAR in Wales. These species include: Alkmaria Romijni tentacled lagoon worm, Anotrichium barbatum bearded red seaweed, Cruoria Cruoriiformis, Edwardsia Timida burrowing anemone, Eunicella Verrucosa pink sea fan, Grateloupia Dermocorynus montagnei, Haliclystus auricula stalked jellyfish, Hippocampus sp., Lithothamnion coralloides Coral maerl, Lucernariopsis Campanulata stalked jellyfish, Arctica Islandica Ocean Quahog, Ostrea Edulis, Padina Pavonica, Palinurus Elephas Crawfish, Phymatolithon calcareum common maerl and Tenellia Adspersa.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 8857 |
| 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. | Environment (Wales) Act Section 7 and OSPAR: Marine Species |
| 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_DS122454 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-313232343534 |
| 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 | 2006-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2016-12-31 |
| 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'. | asNeeded |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The data collation included the use of Marine Recorder to query the plot distribution species. The validity of records were checked. Records that were considered doubtful due to the geographic location and known inexperience of the recorder, were checked thoroughly and excluded if not corroborated. Data layers within this dataset are updated at different times, usually as and when new data is available and collated. |
