The dataset contains a series of records for each of the non-native marine species currently identified as occurring in Wales. The records have been extracted from Countryside Council for Wales' (CCWs) Phase 1 Intertidal surveys, Marine Recorder data holdings, National Biodiversity Network (NBN) Gateway web source, MarLIN/DASSH web source, DEFRA Marine Protected Area (MPA) non-native GIS layers, Local Environmental Record Centres (LERC's ), and other ad-hoc records collated by CCW staff or supplied by third parties. The purpose of this data collation is to monitor the spread of non-native marine species in Wales by creating a current and meaningful atlas using GIS layers for individual layers.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW)
This data is comprised of a mixture of third party owned records and NRW records. NRW policies permits access to and release of this data under the same terms as its own data. There are no access restrictions on this data. NRW may release, publish or disseminate it freely.

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 Non-Native Atlas for Wales 2010 |
Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Atlas Anfrodorol Morol y Cyngor Cefn Gwlad ar gyfer Cymru 2010, CCW Marine Non-Native Atlas for Wales 2010, Non Native Species.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. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-313133343830 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 113480 |
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 | 1906-06-06 |

Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | The dataset contains a series of records for each of the non-native marine species currently identified as occurring in Wales.

The purpose of this data collation is to monitor the spread of non-native marine species in Wales by creating a current and meaningful atlas using GIS layers for individual layers. |
Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Version 1 of the Atlas. This is a collation of records and therefore may be related to varied and specific methodologies associated with individual surveys e.g. Phase 1 Intertidal, Marine Nature Conservation Review (MNCR) Phase II and marine monitoring surveys. The data was extracted for source datasets and imported to MapInfo as British National Grid (BNG) projection. The majority of records are collected by specialists. Ad-hoc records are verified where possible. |
