Metadata: Benthic Sampling From Aggregate Extraction Environmental Assessment Reference Stations - Isle of Wight and Eastern English Channel 1998-2006
Abstract:
Benthic sampling data from 0.1m2 Hamon grabs taken at a network of selected benthic sampling stations within the Isle of Wight and Eastern English Channel regions between 1998-2005. These stations were defined as Environmental Assessment Reference Stations (EARS). Data is selected site monitoring, containing details of macrofauna found in each sample. This data was part of a continuation of a time-series under a previous Defra project (AO903) within the Isle of Wight and Cross Sands regions. Newly acquired and existing data from each of the three sampling locations has been analysed independently following a standardised analytical approach and results presented in three site-specific peer-reviewed publications.
Data holder:
Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS)

| 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. | Benthic Sampling From Aggregate Extraction Environmental Assessment Reference Stations - Isle of Wight and Eastern English Channel 1998-2006 |
| 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. | CEFAS23de6638-2f10-4083-a9fa-b4c66785da63 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CEFAS20641 |
| 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 | 1998-06-10 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2006-07-23 |
| 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. | Environmental assessment reference stations was a module in the Defra project, 'A strategic evaluation of the impacts of aggregate extraction on marine fauna' (2003-2008). The objective of this module was to establish strategically placed reference stations in the vicinity of ongoing and likely future aggregate extraction activity, which would be accessible both to regulators and the industry. These reference stations would also serve to help assess the effects of local and wider scale impacts and provide a temporal component to the evaluation of environmental changes. As well as contributing towards achieving the main objective of Module 3, each publication also concentrates on highly relevant scientific questions such as defining, monitoring and managing thresholds of acceptable disturbance, addressing the underlying principles of Before/After Control/Impact (BACI) survey designs, and defining the decision process necessary for the selection of EARS. The incorporation of EARS into surveys may provide developers with time-series data of sufficient length to allow them to adopt a BACI approach to survey design, thus providing greater confidence when assessing environmental change. |
