Metadata: 2019-2021 WFA-CPC EMFF PROTECTING OUR SEAS PROJECT
Abstract:
The Welsh Government, in partnership with statutory nature conservation advisors Natural Resources Wales, is evaluating interactions between fishing activities and conservation features of Welsh Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) under the Assessing Welsh Fishing Activities (AWFA) Project1. Seabed surveys were carried out by ENVISION in 2020-2021 for the Welsh Fishermen's Association - Cymdeithas Pysgotwyr Cymru (WFA-CPC) in two Welsh Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), where interaction between mobile fishing gear and conservation features have been highlighted as a potential issue. Surveys were completed in the Severn Estuary/Mor Hafren SAC to explore the location of Sabellaria alveolata reefs and in Cardigan Bay/Bae Ceredigion SAC to establish the extent and 'reefiness' of cobble/boulder habitats. Using existing data and information from local fishers, the surveys also employed a variety of different techniques on the sites at different scales to produce maps and information to better inform and prioritise Welsh Government management decisions. In the Severn, benthic and geophysical surveys were undertaken to collect bathymetry, sidescan sonar, AGDS and acoustic imagery data to identify areas of variable ground or potential features. In Cardigan Bay, surveys were carried out using drop down underwater camera systems to establish the presence and extent of 'medium' quality Annex I cobble/boulder reef at previously reported locations. See website: https://naturalresources.wales/about-us/our-projects/marine-projects/assessing-welsh-fishing-activities/. This series represents 3 separate data sets split by MEDIN thematic discipline, see lineage for more details.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 3222 |
| 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. | 2019-2021 WFA-CPC EMFF PROTECTING OUR SEAS PROJECT |
| 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. | d8f12e7ea0689c2c570d15b48a283367 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | WFACPC_project |
| 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 | 2019-11-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2021-07-01 |
| 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 |
