2010 Defra MB0102 2B Distribution of Fucus distichus in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man
This layer shows the distribution of a brown algae, Fucus distichus, 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: JNCCMNCR10000003 1988 MNCR Lochs Duich, Long and Alsh survey JNCCMNCR10000010 1979-82 NCC/RSM Jura and Islay littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000092 1982 Smith Lewis littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000261 1986-87 OPRU/MNCR Shetland, Foula and Fair Isle survey JNCCMNCR10000265 1970-80 SMBA/MBA Great Britain littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000383 1980 Brathay Exploration Group Foula littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000444 1995 MNCR Wyre, Eynhallow and Rousay Sounds littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000449 1995 MNCR west Mainland and Hoy (Orkney) survey JNCCMNCR10000670 1996 MNCR Barra survey JNCCMNCR10000679 1997 MNCR Scapa Flow, Hoy Sound and west Mainland (Orkney) littoral survey JNCCMNCR30000727 1993 SNH Canna littoral survey MPALAYERS000001 Phycological Society Records MRMLN00400000104 DEFRA MPA Layers Isolated species records within literature MRMLN00400000119 1938-1956 Powell Distribution of Fucus in the British Isles MRMLN0040000011A 1962 Shetland and Orkney New Records of Fucus Distichus MRSNH01100000012 2003 Papa Stour cSAC marine rocky environments, SCM July-August 03 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.
