Metadata: Assessing Welsh Aquaculture Activities
Abstract:
The two AWAA Interactions Spreadsheets in Excel present the potential sensitivity of biotopes (components of habitats) and species (designated within MPAs, SSSIs or included within the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 Section 7 list) to the pressures associated with different aquaculture activities. The Biotopes Interactions Spreadsheet contains the information presented in the AWAA Mapping Tool. The AWAA Mapping Tool displays the sensitivity of marine biotopes in Welsh Waters to the potential pressures associated with 11 different aquaculture activities. The Tool allows users such as developers, regulators and advisors to view the potential sensitivity of biotopes around Wales or within the vicinity of a proposed aquaculture development to the potential pressures associated with that activity. Biotope locations have been sourced from the Marine Recorder (2020) and Intertidal Phase 1 Habitat Survey (2022). The sensitivities of the biotopes are sourced from the Marine Life Information Network (MarLIN) as part of the Marine Evidence base Sensitivity Assessment (MarESA) (Tyler-Walers et al., 2022). Full details of data sources and acknowledgements can be found on the ‘Attributions’ button. The data viewer was created by ABPmer Ltd for Natural Resources Wales. The AWAA Project is supported by the EU through Welsh Ministers and is fully funded by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund Story Map can be found here: https://smnr-nrw.hub.arcgis.com/apps/73894fae28f64ed0b9b7344dcc667493/explore

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 8872 |
| 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. | Assessing Welsh Aquaculture Activities |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | FINAL_interactions_spreadsheet_species_16062023.xlsx, FINAL_interactions_spreadsheet_biotopes_16062023.xlsx |
| 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_DS125637 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-313235363337 |
| 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 | 1969-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2019-12-31 |
| 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 |

General AWAA Mapping Tool Rules are provided in the Tool under the ‘Guidance’ button which highlights potential assumptions, things to consider or limitations of the data presented in the Tool. The AWAA Final Report and the AWAA Activity Assessments should be read to understand how the data provided by the AWAA Mapping Tool can be used alongside the other Project Resources including the AWAA Dashboard and Evidence Database. The AWAA Final Report details the methods, assumptions and decisions that have informed the sensitivity of the biotopes. |
