2001-2019 The Marine Biological Association of the UK (MBA) Shore Thing Survey

Abstract

ShoreThing is a citizen science project carried out between 2001-2019 at locations around the British Isles. Volunteers, primarily from schools and colleges, conducted timed search surveys, looking for species from a predefined list across three coastal habitats: rockpools (RP); boulders/crevices (BC); and open rock (OR).

Quality and validity

Lineage

A 20 minute timed search over an unrestricted area around the recorded start location. Each sample event was repeated in 3 habitat types: open rock, boulders/crevices, rockpools. Abundance was recorded using a simplified version of 'SACFOR' where: A = Abundant; F = Frequent; R = Rare; and NR = Not recorded. Surveys were conducted using flash cards for identification and with an experienced marine biologist present who would have helped with verification.
