This layer forms one of a set of data layers created for the Defra MB0102 contract. This work will support the delivery of a network of Marine Protected Areas as required to meet existing international and national obligations and commitments, including Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs), a new measure to be delivered as part of the Marine and Coastal Access Bill, and equivalent measures under Scottish legislation. The availability of these data layers will also be of importance in underpinning Marine Planning (e.g. licensing) in our marine area.

ESRI ArcCatalog 9.3.0.1770 Marine Environmental Data and Information Network MEDIN Core Team dassh.enquiries@mba.ac.uk distributor dataset This dataset was created as part of the Defra MB0102 contract. Data was collated from a range of conservation and academic organisations and through a literature search. Full survey information is available from the survey table in the project geodatabase which can be joined to the layer by the Survey ID Field Explanations. Original Habitat Name: The habitat code, species name or feature recorded in the original survey. Habitat Name: The current accepted name for the habitat as described by the relevent designation Survey ID: A link to survey information. Where data is entered in to Marine Recorder this refers to the MR SurveyID. A few surveys could not be entered into Marine Recorder without risk of duplication occuring. e.g. Seasearch data that will be entered into MR at a later date, data from polygons etc. These have been given a project surveyID using the reference: MPALAYERS0000XX Date: The date the habitat was recorded if known. Vague dates have been entered as the first of a month, if only the month is known, e.g. 01/03/89 or as the first of January if only the year is known, e.g. 01-01-78. Unknown dates show as 00:00:00. Location Name: The location or site name where provided. SampleID: For Marine Recorder surveys the sample_key field has been entered. Event name: Where known an event name has been provided. Latitude: The latitude of the sample point. Longitude: The longitude of the sample point. Determiner: Where known the determiner of the habitat record as specified in Marine Recorder. For non MR surveys the recorder has been inputted into this field as it has been assumed that the recorder is the determiner unless otherwise stated. Classification: The classification used to establish the original habitat e.g EUNIS version 2004, if the habitat has been classified directly from species data then the designation e.g. BAP is used. Designation: The conservation designation appropriate e.g. BAP, OSPAR. Please note that The OSPAR and BAP definitions may differ so not all records may have the same designation. Status: The biotope status as defined by two terms Certain - A certain record of the habitat. Habitat likely - A record where evidence, e.g. species abundances, suggests that the Coordinate Precision: An estimate of the spatial resolution in metres of the co-ordinate, based on survey method, date and the derivation of the co-ordinates . This ranges from 10-10000 metres.
