        <gco:CharacterString>This dataset is comprised of echosounder measurements carried out within the Morlais Demonstration zone  as part of the Marine Characterisation Research Project (MCRP) to estimate prey availability in the study site.  These data support monthly boat based line transect surveys collected to understand spatial and temporal variation in the distribution of seabirds and marine mammals.

The Morlais Demonstration Zone (MDZ) is situated off West Anglesey and has consent for development as a tidal stream energy site. 

Please see other data packages associated with WP11:

2022-2023, Bangor University, Marine Characterisation Research Project, Seabird and marine mammal observations (WP11)

Access to the MCRP data is strictly subject to the MCRP Data Terms of Use. Please ensure that you read and understand the Terms of Use prior to using any of the data as you will be bound to comply with the same.
