Metadata: 2012, SAMS Research Services, Islay Offshore Wind Farm, Benthic Survey
Abstract:
SAMS Research Services Ltd (SRSL) were asked to undertake benthic ecology and natural fish resource baseline surveys for input into the environmental planning aspect of the Islay development. The surveys were undertaken from May to September 2012. The objectives were to determine the seabed type through collection and analysis of seabed sediment samples; to determine broad scale distribution patterns and abundance of marine habitats, communities, biotopes and key species patterns and; to identify habitats/species of conservation importance in the area. Deliverables were in the form of a report and video still screenshots.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19359 |
| 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. | 2012, SAMS Research Services, Islay Offshore Wind Farm, Benthic Survey |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Benthic 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. | b885382e-190e-4a1f-be7d-e8b73fc4703c |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CES-149 |
| 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 | 2012-05-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012-09-01 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 1 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | urn:ogc:def:uom:EPSG::9001 |
| 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. | Data collected between May and September 2012. Objectives were to determine the seabed type, marine habitats and identify habitats and species of conservational importance around the Islay Offshore Wind Farm Site. |
