Metadata: 2011 Natural England Isles of Scilly Seagrass Mapping
Abstract:
A Natural England commissioned study conducted by MarLin at the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, in order to utilise aerial surveys to accurately map the current extent of Seagrass Zostera marina in the Isles of Scilly. The aim was to integrate aerial survey and GIS methods with historic information, contextual information and groundtruthing to produce and upto date accurate map showing the extent of Seagrass in the Isles of Scilly.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 2982 |
| 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. | 2011 Natural England Isles of Scilly Seagrass Mapping |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | GB100212, NERC_DDC |
| 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. | c9419f656dd4822a4aebd59b6449b1e6 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | GB100212 |
| 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 | 2009-06-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2009-09-01 |

| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | A Natural England commissioned study conducted by MarLin at the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, in order to utilise aerial surveys to accurately map the current extent of Seagrass Zostera marina in the Isles of Scilly.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The survey comprised of historic data mining, aerial photograph image analysis and ground truthing. Ground truthing for presence or absence was carried out by means of visual observations; in shallow water less than 3m by looking over the side of the vessel, and for water depths greater than 3m by drop down video This data is reported as M_00329 in the Natural England Marine Conservation Zone Evidence Dataset. 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. |
