Data derived from the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) intertidal Phase 1 mapping survey have been used to evaluate the relative value of each survey site according to the JNCC intertidal Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) guidelines. The purpose of this data capture was to make recommendations and objectively evaluate the nature conservation value of stretches of the intertidal zone throughout Wales, in order to create new designations for SSSI and provide evidence and identify additional of intertidal features of interest to identify features to existing SSSIs. This in turn helps to develop Site Management Statements and Management Plans for existing SSSI and Special Areas of Conservation (SACs).

Part of this dataset is also sensitive and restricted. The sensitive data is as follows; Ostrea edulis. Sensitive data must be kept confidential; general release, is not permitted due to risk of harm to the environment or third parties. Sensitive data may only be released under an appropriate NRW Licence. Requests should be referred to NRW's Access to Information Officer. Data may be released freely if the sensitive records are removed in advance, or shown only at a coarser scale.

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | There are some data gaps in data collected from 1996 to 1999. All data collected by a well trained survey team. Intertidal Phase 1 mapping survey techniques were employed. Data derived from the CCW intertidal Phase 1 mapping survey have been used to produce these documents. An assessment was first carried out in 2007 and a subsequent assessment completed June 2010. |
