Metadata: 2018 - 2019 Eastern IFCA North Norfolk Coast Habitat Mapping
Abstract:
Over the last three years Eastern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (EIFCA) have completed six habitat mapping surveys along the North Norfolk Coast. These surveys had the aim of identifying and classifying areas of differing seabed type in order to produce a habitat map of the area and inform current and future fishery management decisions. Broadscale area characterisation was achieved using side scan sonar and ground truthing data collected from footage obtained from seabed video surveys. Data was subsequently processed and analysed, and a habitat map produced for the survey area. The resulting habitat map indicates an area made up of predominantly mixed sediment and sand and muddy sand habitats. A large area of mixed sediment stretches across the top of the survey area, with smaller patches closer to shore. An area of stony reef habitat inshore off Salthouse (near Blakeney) was also identified. The findings provide us with higher confidence habitat data within the survey area and support the spatial restrictions that have been proposed along the North Norfolk Coast to protect vulnerable mixed sediment habitats within The Wash and North Norfolk Coast SAC.

| 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. | 2018 - 2019 Eastern IFCA North Norfolk Coast Habitat Mapping |
| 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. | 0bb4cf5b488af30eca11c66b15b0df0c |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | EIFCA_18_19_NNC_HABMAP |
| 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. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2018-07-02 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2019-08-30 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| 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'. | continual |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | A total of six habitat mapping surveys were completed along the North Norfolk Coast between 2018 and 2019, three side scan surveys and three ground truth surveys collecting seabed video imagery. Once side scan data and video recordings had been processed data were spatially mapped and used to estimate broad-scale marine biotopes using the EUNIS classification system. If any sensitive species or biotope records are present within this dataset, they will have been removed. If you wish to request access to sensitive species records, please contact the metadata contact. The UK Sensitive Species list has been agreed by UK statutory bodies and relevant experts. It can be viewed here https://docs.nbnatlas.org/sensitive-species-list/. Please note sensitive species lists can vary across the UK. |
