Site location of Natural Resources Wales' (NRWs) Marine Monitoring Sites within Special Areas of Conservation (SACs). This is general location of the sites where marine monitoring takes place and does not show the individual sample locations. It includes the location of monitoring sites for subtidal rock, subtidal sediment, intertidal rock, intertidal sediment, lagoons, marine climate monitoring sites, marine birds and bird food sites, seals and cetacean monitoring sites as well as areas where acoustic and drop down video monitoring takes place. Information is also available for potential sea cave monitoring sites, however this is not currently a NRW monitoring programme. The purpose of this data capture was to provide an overview of Countryside Council for Wales' (CCW) Ma rine SAC Monitoring Sites. This is a Wales-wide but concentrated in the SAC and Special Protection Areas (SPAs). However additional sites will be added as they are identified.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 1839 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Marine Monitoring Sites |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Safleoedd Monitro Morol, Wales monitoring points.LYR |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-313038383035 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 108805 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2002-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2008-12-31 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 2000 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | All points have been plotted from original waypoints recorded on survey, extracted from Marine Monitoring reports or extracted from samples in Marine Recorder. Several GIS layers have been produced. 1) Point location of survey areas (WalesMonitoringLocations_v5.TAB) 2) Detailed survey locations of the Marine Nature Reserve at Skomer (Skomer monitoring locations.lyr) 3) Line Transects for large scale monitoring, such as for birds and cetaceans (Wales monitoring transects.lyr) 4) Areas within which remotes sensing, such as video or acoustic surveys take place (Wales monitoring areas.lyr) 5) Areas where seal monitoring takes place (Seal monitoring sites.lyr) All samples are mapped in British National Grid projection, although the native WGS84 grid references are r etained in the table where originally recorded. |
