Abstract

Please note: This data is displayed publicly for viewing purposes only on MAGIC, but is not available for download. This dataset contains a collation of marine habitat and species biotope records that contribute to designated Marine Protected Area (MPA) features. This includes Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) species/habitats of conservation importance (SOCI/HOCI) and broadscale habitat (BSH); Special Protection Area (SPA) supporting habitat; and Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) features/subfeatures. This is because it contains third party records. Please note the Open Government Licence records have been extracted and are publicly available for download via the separate 'Marine Habitats and Species Open Data' entry.

Quality and validity

Lineage

These records are extracted from the Natural England Marine Evidence Base (MEB) which is an internal collated evidence base that is used for Marine Protected Area (MPA) designation, monitoring and condition reporting. This extraction is based on a valid value being present for one of the designated record fields (SAC_UID; SPA_UID; MCZ_UID_BSH; MCZ_UID_FOCI). Point data is added cumulatively to the evidence base; polygonal data is 'stacked' using the MESH confidence score to ensure that only one polygonal record is present at any single location and that this record has the highest confidence score. This geoprocessing means that full raw datasets may not be included in the evidence base, and records that are included may be subject to clipping to facilitate other records from another raw dataset of a higher confidence score.
