Metadata: All Wales Non-Native Marine Species
Abstract:
This dataset comprises data on marine non-native species in Wales. The purpose it to gain an up to date understanding of the distribution of marine non-native species to inform their spread and inform casework advice. The data used to build this GIS layer comes from existing relevant locations where data is held and has been amalgamated into one location in ESRI format. It contains data from the 1930s up until 2023. No new surveys were carried out for this dataset.
Data holder:
Natural Resources Wales (NRW)
| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 8865 |
| 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. | All Wales Non-Native Marine Species |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Non Native Species All Wales Marine July 2024.lyr |
| 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_DS125158 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-313235313538 |
| 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 | 1930-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2023-12-31 |
| 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 |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | This dataset comprises data on marine non-native species in Wales. The purpose it to gain an up to date understanding of the distribution of marine non-native species to inform their spread and inform casework advice. The data used to build this GIS layer comes from existing relevant locations where data is held and has been amalgamated into one location in ESRI format.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Various datasets containing marine non-native species were interregated to build this GIS layer. These included internal NRW datasets including Marine Recorder, KiECO and ad-hoc records of non-natives NRW hold. External datasets used were from the NBN Atlas. No new surveys were carried out for inclusion in this dataset. The methods used to collect the marine non-native species records varied and contained non-natives from specific surveys to ad-hoc records. A list of agreed non-native species was used as a basis on which to extract species records. Different methods were used to extract records from the different sources but a list of species was captured in Excel and imported into ArcGIS for review. Additional fields were added, including one for the species status on the Wales marine INNS Marine Invasive Non-native Species Priority Monitoring and Surveillance List for Wales A process was undertaken to remove any duplicate records which were noted. Any records which appeared to be inland were removed. |
