Abstract

The Spring 2022 Marine Recorder version 52 public snapshot. The Marine Recorder database holds information on UK marine benthic data such as species, biotopes and physical attributes. Data extracted from a Marine Recorder database into a queryable format is known as a Marine Recorder Snapshot. This is an Access database and does not require installation of the Marine Recorder application. JNCC periodically compiles and combines all local Marine Recorder Snapshots into a single UK-wide version. A public version of this snapshot is available for download. This current snapshot contains: * 4,146 Surveys * 249,815 Biotope records * 3,792,769 Species records
