Metadata: Modelled gridded data of aquaculture potential in the Dorset & East Devon Fisheries Local Action Group area, 2018-2019
Abstract:
Gridded data (GeoTiff format) produced in the context of the FLAG Aquaculture Mapping project (2018-2019). The purpose of the project was to identify and map areas best suited (and with least conflict) to specific types of sustainable marine aquaculture, within the boundaries of the Dorset and East Devon Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG) area. The aquaculture potential layers were derived by combining information on conservation and legislative boundaries, human infrastructure and activity constraints, with environmental requirements for various combinations of aquaculture species and growing system, to identify areas of potential for each species/system combination. The filenames of layers representing unique species/system combinations are in the format: ‘Dorset-EDevon-FLAG[speciesname][growingsystem ]_AquaPotential.tif’ The filenames of layers representing grouped species/systems are in the format: ‘Dorset-EDevon-FLAG[speciesgroup]ALLAquaPotential.tif’ The data layers represent a broad overview of aquaculture potential in the Dorset and East Devon FLAG area, but detailed site-specific investigations would be required for local planning applications and licensing purposes.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 8981 |
| 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. | Modelled gridded data of aquaculture potential in the Dorset & East Devon Fisheries Local Action Group area, 2018-2019 |
| 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. | CEFAS02f0b102-23ce-4046-9b23-38250720e698 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CEFAS20413 |
| 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 | 2018-04-01 |
| 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 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 10 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | urn:ogc:def:uom:EPSG::9001 |
| 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. | Modelled raster layers (GeoTiff format) of aquaculture potential with values ranging between 0 and 1, where the value 0 represents no potential and 1 represents full potential. Each gridded layer was derived by modelling a suitability score based on environmental requirements for the specific combination of species and culture method, then masking with an exclusion layer based on relevant conservation, legislative, human infrastructure feature and activity boundaries, setting cells in areas of conflict to 0. |
