  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">This dataset comprises of marine surveys undertaken by the Natural Resources Wales (NRW) (and former Countryside Council for Wales) for Marine non-native species, currently held in Marine Recorder. These datasets have been packaged for dissemination onto the NBN Gateway. The purpose of this data capture was to collate and monitor the spread of non-native species in Wales. The surveys represent on-going non-native monitoring, sightings and ad-hoc records of invasive and non-native species supplied to NRW or noted outside of other research and monitoring work. This published dataset is kept separate from other species survey data provided by NRW, to allow it to be updated more often. This data will contribute to the information already available in the UK non native species portal.</dc:description>
