Title

1991-2013 Northern Ireland Environment Agency Northern Ireland Rapid assessment of marinas for the invasive alien species Undaria pinnatifida, Caprella mutica and Crassostrea gigas

Abstract

Eleven marina sites were sampled using the Abundance and Distribution Range methodology during late August to early September 2012 on the coastline of Northern Ireland. This study involved sampling thirty different positions at each large marina for non-indigenous species that were targeted, following an initial study of the current distribution of non-indigenous species within northern Europe. The fifty sevenspecies selected for the target list were mainly of species that have demonstrated some impact elsewhere or were otherwise of general interest. Nine smaller floating units (pontoons) were sampled at small marina sites or where there was a single floating boardwalk. Some shore surveys took place, both during this survey, and a post-contract survey. Oysters were selected for examination at some sites.

Lineage

Part of MSFD NNS baseline data collation project (Jan 2016). Subset of a dataset as we were only pulling out records for a selection of INNS. Contains records for Undaria pinnatifida, Caprella mutica and Crassostrea gigas. If any sensitive species or biotope records are present within this dataset, they will have been removed. If you wish to request access to sensitive species records, please contact the metadata contact. The UK Sensitive Species list has been agreed by UK statutory bodies and relevant experts. It can be viewed here https://docs.nbnatlas.org/sensitive-species-list/. Please note sensitive species lists can vary across the UK. See Minchin, D.M and Nunn, J.D. (2013) Rapid assessment of marinas for invasive alien species in Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland Environment Agency Research and Development Series No. 13/06 for original source.
