Metadata: 2014 Natural England (NE) and The Bromley Trust Distribution of Non-Native Species (NNS) in English marinas
Abstract:
The survey was undertaken to assess the presence of non-native species in 43 marinas throughout Southern England. The funding for this project came from the Natural England, The Bromley Trust and the Marine Biological Association, administered by Natural England. All 34 target NNS presence/absence are noted and abundance estimated. Some native species are also included in this dataset. The majority of species were determined on site. This method focuses primarily on fouling organisms which live attached to solid substrates.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This dataset is part of a larger dataset which includes Welsh marinas. Method - Rapid Assessment Survey (RAS) -This method focuses primarily on fouling organisms which live attached to solid substrates. At each marina the available floating pontoons were allocated between the 3 surveyors. Each surveyor spent 1 hour searching their allocated area, examining and scraping pontoon sides, and examining any other substrates accessible from the surface e.g. ropes, buoys, fenders, kelps etc. All 34 target NNS presence/absence were noted and abundance estimated (using an abbreviated and adapted SACFORN scale where A=SA, F=CF, R=OR, N=N). The majority of species were determined on site. Any other potential NNS, unidentified specimens, those requiring microscopical examination for species confirmation, and specimens to substantiate significant findings were relaxed, preserved and examined later in the laboratory. The specimens were relaxed using menthol crystals and preserved in 70% IDA (Industrial Denatured Alcohol) in the field. Lab ID may involve dissection for confirmation of ID. Temperature and salinity were recorded at surface and at 2m depth at each marina. Secchi depth was also recorded to measure turbidity in the water column.
