Metadata: 1986-1999 Helford Marine Conservation Group (HMCG) Helford intertidal transect monitoring review
Abstract:
During the 1986 to 1999 period, six intensive surveys were carried out at each of six sites covering the north and south banks of the Helford River, both sides of the Gillan inlet and an exposed headland. The results of all these studies and brief, more recent, notes, are drawn together here in this report to inform and assist in any future investigations.

| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | During the 1986 to 1999 period, six intensive surveys were carried out at each of six sites covering the north and south banks of the Helford River, both sides of the Gillan inlet and an exposed headland.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Data collected by the Helford Marine Conservation Group and summarised in review here. Transect start points were located with fixed bolts embedded in rock and sighted on known locations (no end co-ordinates). 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. This data has been reviewed against the DASSH Quality Assessment Criteria (http://doi.org/10.17031/64ccec5c7ba72) and been categorised as medium quality. |
