  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Natural Resources Wales (NRW) currently holds and collates current and former Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) marine benthic species, biotope, habitat, and particle size analyses data in Marine Recorder. A snapshot of the data may be made available through the use of the Marine Wizard and is also available on the NBN Gateway. NRW data are merged with snapshots of datasets from across Wales supplied from other data providers (e.g. JNCC, NE, DASSH and Seasearch) using the suite of tools provided with the program and made available for internal use. The purpose of marine data capture through the use of Marine Recorder is to provide access to all marine benthic species and habitats data at NRW through one program.

From 2024, the data will be migrated to the new Marine Recorder Online tool. A subset of data that is suitable for public use is published through the NBN Atlas.</dc:description>
