Title

2010 Defra MB0102 2B Distribution of Amphianthus dohrnii in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man

Abstract

This layer shows the distribution of the sea fan anemone, Amphianthus dohrnii, a Biodiversity Action Plan Species most abundant in the south-west of England 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.

Lineage

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. The species is found most commonly in south-west England with the Pink Sea Fan, Eunicella verrucosa. The survey used to collate the point data are: JNCCMNCR10000025 1989 UMBSM south Argyll and west Kintyre sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000242 1986 OPRU HRE Plymouth Harbour and Yealm Estuary survey JNCCMNCR10000465 1994 MNCR Lizard Peninsula and Falmouth Bay sublittoral survey JNCCMNCR10000624 1995 MNCR Firth and Lynn of Lorn training survey JNCCMNCR10000639 1996 MNCR Devon and Cornwall survey MPALAYERS000012 2008 Seasearch Devon and IoS MPALAYERS000013 2009 Seasearch Devon and IoS MRLRC0010000055C 2005 Seasearch Survey of Dorset MRLRC0020000000B 2004 Seasearch surveys in Devon MRLRC00200000016 2006 Seasearch Plymouth Drop Off Survey (Leptopsammia pruvoti search) MRLRC00200000020 2007 Seasearch survey of Bigbury Bay MRLRC00300000020 2007 Seasearch Fowey, Looe and Whitsand Bay MRLRC00300000021 2007 Seasearch Lizard Peninsula MRLRC01300000012 2006 Seasearch Survey of Fowey, Looe and Whitsand Bay, Cornwall MRLRC01300000014 2006 MCS Seasearch Survey of Isles Of Scilly MRMCS00100000010 2003 MCS Seasearch Survey - South Devon Reefs MRMCS00100000012 2004 MCS Seasearch Survey - Isles of Scilly MRMCS0010000001F 2005 MCS Seasearch Plymouth Offshore Reefs survey MRMCS00100000021 2005 MCS Seasearch survey of The Manacles, Cornwall MRMCS00100000029 2006 Plymouth Offshore reefs and wreck survey MRMCS00100000035 2007 MCS Seasearch Isles of Scilly MRMCS00200000018 2005 Seasearch MCS Northern Sea Fan Survey - Garvellachs, Firth of Lorn MRMCS00700000009 2004 Seasearch Firth of Lorn incl.

Field Explanations. Original Scientific Name: The scientific name (or in some cases the common name) recorded in the original survey. Scientific Name: The current accepted name for the taxon using WORMS as the definitive species list. See link: www.marinespecies.org 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 species was recorded. 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 species 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. Status: The species status as defined by three terms; Present - the default indicating the presence of a species. Absent - Absence records have only been included in a small number of cases where a key historical population has disappeared. Uncertain - Indicates that the identification of the species may be incorrect and further investigation is required. 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. This information was extracted from ESRIISO metadata (incorporating ISO and FGDC elements) using the EsriIsoToMedin xslt version 1.0;ISO Resource created in environment: Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 3; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.3.1.3000
