Metadata: 2022-2023, Swansea University, Marine Characterisation Research Project, Auk tagging (WP7)
Abstract:
This data series was collected for the Marine Characterisation 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. Remote downloadable GPS and dive depth recorders (Pathtrack GEO nano-fix) were deployed on razorbills and guillemots breeding at Ynys Lawd to map their foraging locations in relation to the Morlais Marine Demonstration Zone (MDZ) and model the number of dives auks perform in this area of interest. The outputs provided a broader understanding of habitat selection in auks by examining foraging locations in relation to current speed, which could further enhance parameterisation of collision risk models. 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.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19024 |
| 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. | 2022-2023, Swansea University, Marine Characterisation Research Project, Auk tagging (WP7) |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Auk tagging (WP7) |
| 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. | 1e78d0f6-1cb5-4fe3-81ef-d4b1b1189ce8 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-3929 |
| 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 | 2022-06-05 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2023-06-03 |
| 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'. | notPlanned |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The deployments were conducted by Swansea University, in partnership with RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds), using Pathtrack remote-download enabled GPS tags, integrated with time-depth recorders (TDR). The tags were attached to guillemots and razorbills from the South Stack colony with Tesa tape and so were expected to fall off within a 10-day period â?? the data collected has been calibrated to maximise the frequency of GPS locations recorded while preserving battery life. Deployments were made between 6am 20th June 2022 and 7 am 28th June 2023. 30 guillemots and 30 razorbills have been equipped with these devices during this time period, the information available may vary depending on deployment year and upon encountering hardware issues with depth recording. |
