Modiolus Reefs are a feature of the Pen Llyn a'r Sarnau Special Area of Conservation (SAC). Information is gathered about the dynamics of the reef through the recording of spat/larval settlement. This is used as an indicator of current/recent influences on the reef and can provide an early warning of potential problems. The purpose of this data capture was to investigate the dynamics of the reef. This contributes to reporting of favourable conservation status of the SAC feature. Data will be used in conjunction with acoustic methods which look at the extent of the feature (reef) and photo quadrat methods that look at the health of the feature.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 1894 |
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. | Monitoring the Dynamics of the North Llyn Modiolus Reef |
Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Monitro dynameg Riff Modiolus Gogledd Llyn, Spat/larval settlement of modiolus on the North Llyn Reef |
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. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-313130383930 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 110890 |
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 | 2004-07-13 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2009-12-31 |
Vertical extent (min) | A positive or negative decimal number, for example, the shallowest depth recorded if subtidal, or, if intertidal, the lowest point recorded. | -30 |
Vertical extent (max) | A positive or negative decimal number, for example, the deepest depth recorded if subtidal, or, if intertidal, the highest point recorded. | -35 |
Vertical extent reference | This descibes the vertical coordinate reference system as referred to in the EPSG register of geodetic parameters. (epsg-registry.org) | urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG:: |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | annually |

This is used as an indicator of current/recent influences on the reef and can provide an early warning of potential problems.

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Post-settlement juvenile 'spat' collectors were attached to the permanent monitoring station at Modiolus site 1. 3 kitchen scouring pads are attached by cable ties onto the pyramid marker at the site. The pads are recovered annually and placed in sealed plastic bags to present loss of juvenile mussels on the ascent back to the surface. Once back in the laboratory the spat collectors were fixed / stored in 4% formalin buffered with seawater. Upon analysis the spat collector pads were separated into 'inner' and 'outer' faces for settlement and then systematically scanned using a dissecting binocular microscope |
