Title

2009 Defra MB0102 2B Distribution of Lithothamnion coralloides in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man

Abstract

This layer shows the distribution of the Coral Maerl, Lithothamnion coralloides, a Biodiversity Action Plan Species. 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 survey used to collate the point data are: JNCCMNCR10000002 1988 MNCR Skye sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000009 1990 MNCR Loch Tarbert (Jura) survey JNCCMNCR10000011 1982 OPRU Jura and Islay sublittoral survey JNCCMNCR10000022 1988-90 UMBSM Loch Fyne survey JNCCMNCR10000025 1989 UMBSM south Argyll and west Kintyre sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000026 1989 UMBSM Mull sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000027 1989 UMBSM Arisaig and Moidart sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000028 1989 UMBSM northern Firth of Clyde sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000030 1990 UMBSM Loch Gairloch and Loch Ewe survey JNCCMNCR10000058 1984 OPRU Western Isles sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000098 1984 OPRU Upper Loch Sween littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000167 1980 NCC Isles of Scilly and south Cornwall sublittoral survey JNCCMNCR10000244 1985 OPRU HRE Fal Estuary survey JNCCMNCR10000247 1986-87 OPRU HRE Helford River survey JNCCMNCR10000471 1993 MNCR Lewis, Harris and North Uist lagoon survey JNCCMNCR10000640 1996 MNCR west Anglesey sublittoral survey JNCCMNCR30000443 1993 Marine Seen Brindister Voe and the Vadills mapping survey JNCCMNCR30000734 1995 SNH Loch Sunart sublittoral biotope survey JNCCMNCR50000470 1995 MNCR/SNH Strangford Lough ROV evaluation study JNCCMNCR60000051 1980 UCS south Skye sublittoral survey JNCCMNCR60000283 1989 Seasearch Gruinard Bay, Loch Ewe and Loch Gairloch survey MPALAYERS000001 Phycological Society Records MPALAYERS000011 1849 - ERCCIS Stalk jelly and Maerl Records MRCCW10000000021 1986 Hiscock PMSA -Milford Haven, Littlewick Bay Zostera survey MRCON01700000001 2003 Envision - Treshnish Aug03 MREN050000000005 2001/2002 Falmouth and Helford sublittoral survey MRMCS00200000014 2005 Seasearch Pentland Skerries and Duncansby Head MRMLN0040000008E 2000 Port Erin Marine Laboratory Isle of Man Sublittoral Survey II MRSNH0110000000F 2003 Sound of Arisaig cSAC, Site Condition Monitoring 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 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.
