Metadata: 2022-2023, Bangor University, Morlais, Marine Characterisation Research Project - Echosounder surveys (WP11)
Abstract:
This dataset is comprised of echosounder measurements carried out within the Morlais Demonstration zone as part of the Marine Characterisation Research Project (MCRP) to estimate prey availability in the study site. These data support monthly boat based line transect surveys collected to understand spatial and temporal variation in the distribution of seabirds and marine mammals. The Morlais Demonstration Zone (MDZ) is situated off West Anglesey and has consent for development as a tidal stream energy site. Please see other data packages associated with WP11: 2022-2023, Bangor University, Marine Characterisation Research Project, Seabird and marine mammal observations (WP11) 2022-2023, Bangor University, Marine Characterisation Research Project, Marine mammal Acoustic Surveys (WP11) Access to the MCRP data is strictly subject to the MCRP Data Terms of Use. Please ensure that you read and understand the Terms of Use prior to using any of the data as you will be bound to comply with the same. The MCRP Terms of Use are the prevailing Terms of Use and supersede that of Marine Data Exchange Terms of Use in relation to MCRP data.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This dataset has been collected by Bangor University as part of the The Marine Characterisation Research Project (MCRP) which forms part of the Morlais tidal energy project, managed by Menter Môn and funded by the European Regional Development Fund and The Crown Estate. The Marine Characterisation Research Project (MCRP) is an innovative research and development project that will ensure the safe phased deployment of tidal energy turbines in the Morlais Demonstration Zone. |
