  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">This, now static, dataset was collected to monitoring the progress of saltmarsh development across Wales, between 1994 and 2002. 

The dataset comprises of a collation of biological data recorded across different saltmarsh environments. 

This dataset is now archived, as more up-to-date information is available about saltmarsh habitats across Wales. However this still forms an important baseline dataset in which to monitor the health and species richness across saltmarshes and overtime. This will help inform conservation management requirements for the important saltmarsh habitats. 

The more up-to-date surveys can be found in the following metadata entry: 114725 Priority Marine Habitats of Wales (coastal saltmarsh).</dc:description>
