The abstract below provides a historical reference for 'Freshwater and Marine Biological Surveys for Invertebrates England' at the point of retirement. Freshwater and Marine Biological Surveys England. The Environment Agency undertakes freshwater and marine biological monitoring in England. Freshwater and Marine Biological Surveys England is a large dataset containing taxonomic level species data for biological surveys carried out in freshwater and marine environments. Species surveys include: • Invertebrate, algal and macrophyte surveys in rivers and still waters; • Marine macro-invertebrate, algal, macrophyte and seagrass data. Note: - This archive is more commonly known as BIOSYS - This dataset contains Freshwater, River and Lake Macroinvertebrate surveys only. - Pollution Samples are excluded from the dataset.
