Metadata: 2022 NRW Skomer MCZ Nudibranch Survey
Abstract:
Every four years a nudibranch survey is completed at several locations within the Skomer MCZ. Nudibranchs are a feature of the Skomer Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) for which species diversity and the presence of rare or scarce species are attributes used to assess conservation status. Nudibranch species recorded include several classed as nationally scarce or with limited national distribution in the British Isles.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 31398 |
| 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. | 2022 NRW Skomer MCZ Nudibranch Survey |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | 2022 NRW Skomer MCZ Nudibranch Survey (42bb43cd-4165-4cf6-a327-43adea821299) |
| 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_DS161805 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-313631383035 |
| 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 | 2022-06-13 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2022-06-24 |
| 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 |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Every four years a nudibranch survey is completed at several locations within the Skomer MCZ. Nudibranchs are a feature of the Skomer Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) for which species diversity and the presence of rare or scarce species are attributes used to assess conservation status. Nudibranch species recorded include several classed as nationally scarce or with limited national distribution in the British Isles. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | During a dive divers search for nudibranchs and record and photograph the animals. If it is necessary to confirm identification specimens are collected for microscopic identification, and returned to the water the following day. In 2022 17 sites were dived over 8 days, and a total of 55 different nudibranch species were recorded. A copy of the open data is archived at DASSH (DASSH identifier to be added). |
