Trwyddedu Morol: Band 1 Ardaloedd Sensitif

Abstract

NRW agreed, identified and documented which habitats and SAC features are sensitive to a range of Marine Licencing Band 1 activities. The dataset consists of 2 layers detailing information about sensitive habitats. These datasets constitute polygons derived from NRW held BAP (Section 7) / OSPAR layers, Regulation 35 SAC habitat layers and Phase 1 intertidal survey. All the habitats included in these layers were deemed to be sensitive to Marine Licencing Band 1 activities. The data includes records of protected or sensitive habitats, collected as part of baseline survey, monitoring programmes and ad-hoc records. A third layer is derived from the Special Protection Area (SPA) designated sites dataset and identifies SPA sensitive to Marine Licencing Band 1 Activities The publically available dataset has some environmentally sensitive information redacted. An un-redacted version can be requested and may be provided under a NRW licence.

Quality and validity

Lineage

These sensitive habitats were selected from existing GIS layers. Point data was given a 50m buffer. The polygons were dissolved and then separately merged together to create both the two sensitive habitat data layers. The table structure was altered so it only included a small number of fields and additional fields were added. The SPA layer was derived from the NRW SPA Designated site dataset (NRW_DS98775). The SPAs which were relevant to Band 1 Activities were selected out of this layer and the table structure amended to add relevant information.
