Title

2009 Defra MB0102 2B Distribution of Swiftia pallida in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man

Abstract

This layer shows the distribution of Northern Sea Fan, Swiftia pallida, 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.

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 surveys used to collate the point data are: JNCCMNCR10000002 1988 MNCR Skye sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000006 1988-89 MNCR Loch Linnhe survey JNCCMNCR10000015 1989 MNCR Loch Sunart survey JNCCMNCR10000017 1987 NCC/MCS Seasearch Loch Sunart sublittoral survey JNCCMNCR10000021 1988 UMBSM Harris and Lewis sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000025 1989 UMBSM south Argyll and west Kintyre sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000026 1989 UMBSM Mull sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000029 1990 UMBSM North and South Uist and Benbecula sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000031 1990 UMBSM Harris and Lewis sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000042 1989 UMBSM/MNCR Sound of Luing (Firth of Lorn) survey JNCCMNCR10000059 1979 NCC Uists sublittoral survey JNCCMNCR10000135 1984 Queen's University Loch Nevis and Loch Hourn survey JNCCMNCR10000463 1994 MNCR Ardnamurchan peninsula sublittoral survey JNCCMNCR10000469 1994 MNCR/SNH Ardnamurchan peninsula and north Mull ROV survey JNCCMNCR10000624 1995 MNCR Firth and Lynn of Lorn training survey JNCCMNCR10000762 1997 JNCC/MCS Seasearch Loch Sunart survey JNCCMNCR30000650 1995 SNH Lochs Alsh and Duich ROV survey JNCCMNCR30000694 1997 SNH St Kilda ROV survey JNCCMNCR60000048 1983 UCS Mull sublittoral survey JNCCMNCR60000050 1982 UCS Loch Sween sublittoral survey JNCCMNCR60000052 1988 Seasearch Skye sealochs sublittoral survey JNCCMNCR60000064 1984 MCS Loch Eynort (South Uist) sublittoral survey MRMCS00100000013 2004 MCS Seasearch Survey - Rum MRMCS00200000011 1998 Seasearch Eigg MRMCS00200000018 2005 Seasearch MCS Northern Sea Fan Survey - Garvellachs, Firth of Lorn MRMCS00200000019 2005 Seasearch Sound of Mull and Loch Sunart MRMCS0020000001B 2005 Seasearch Skye - various MRMCS00200000021 2005 Seasearch NW Scotland N of Loch Torridon, various MRMCS00200000031 2006 Seasearch Handa Island and NW Scotland Coast MRMCS00200000036 2006 Seasearch Skye various MRMCS0020000003E 2006 Seasearch Inner and outer Hebrides, mainly South Uist and Small Isles MRMCS00200000041 2006 Seasearch Firth of Lorn incl.

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.
