Metadata: Coastal Surveillance Unit (CSU) monitoring programme
Abstract:
The Coastal Surveillance Unit (CSU) monitoring programme is comprised of 10 databases, including those for abundance records for around 1000 coastal species. The purpose of the monitoring (funded by Shell UK Ltd.) was to detect any changes that might have occurred as a result of a Shell oil pipeline that runs from a terminal at sea off Amlwch across Anglesey to the mainland. Monitoring was carried out over 10 years from 1973 - 1983, with a resurvey in 1993.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 8888 |
| 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. | Coastal Surveillance Unit (CSU) monitoring programme |
| 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_DS24278 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-3234323738 |
| 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 | 1973-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1993-12-31 |
| 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 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Species abundance was measured at site transect and quadrat level for each sampling event from 10 transects, mainly from around Anglesey. Data was also derived from fixed quadrats for the fucoids as a group (and Fucus serratus and Fucus spiralis individually), for limpets (Patella species). Meteorological data (by date and met station), site information and zoning of sites on the shore were data also collected. |
