    "description": "A 'seascape' is an area of sea, coastline and land as perceived by people, whose character results from the actions and interaction of land and sea, by natural and/or human factors. \r\n\r\nThis dataset is the product of the first detailed assessment of the character of Wales's seascapes. The purpose of this data capture was to characterise and define the geographical extent of the seascape units of Wales and to assess the sensitivity of each seascape to offshore developments. \r\n\r\nThe dataset contains a map, images, and descriptive text for each of the 50 seascapes units in Wales. Also included are maps illustrating the national and regional divisions of seascape units, land with sea views, relative visibility of the sea surface from land and tranquillity. There are also maps presenting the results of sensitivity assessments carried out to model the sensitivity of seascape units to offshore wind farm developments, wave farm developments and tidal stream developments. Included in the dataset is a pdf file outlining what exactly the MapInfo files in the dataset show.",
