Metadata: 2012 Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) Northton Bay SSSI intertidal site condition monitoring survey
Abstract:
Intertidal sediment infauna and epibiota species abundance data and associated habitat descriptors from a baseline survey of the Northton Bay SSSI. The main aims of the survey were to provide sufficient information for site condition assessment and as a baseline for future site condition monitoring. Species abundance data and habitat data was collected in-situ. Six other marine sediment SSSIs were surveyed under the same contract, using similar methods.

All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2012 Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) Northton Bay SSSI intertidal site condition monitoring survey |
| 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. | c113b5a217df12838dc59f1fbc90a9fb |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | NS-000197 |
| 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 |
