Title

2010 Defra MB0102 2D distribution of Crassostrea gigas in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man

Abstract

This layer shows the distribution of the Pacific Oyster, Crassostrea gigas, a non-native Species. Records for "shell only" have been excluded from this data layer. 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.

Lineage

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. Records for "shell only" have been excluded from this data layer. The survey used to collate the point data are: JNCCMNCR10000084 - 1978 Smith west Inverness-shire and north Argyll littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000148 - 1985 Dyrynda Poole Harbour (north) sublittoral survey JNCCMNCR10000170 - 1984 Dyrinda Poole Harbour (south) sublittoral survey JNCCMNCR10000243 - 1985 OPRU HRE Exe Estuary survey JNCCMNCR10000254 - 1988 OPRU HRE Teign Estuary survey JNCCMNCR10000466 - 1994 MNCR Lizard Peninsula and Falmouth Bay littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000710 - 1998 JNCC Milford Haven littoral sediment survey MPALAYERS000007 - MarClim Extra Survey Records MPALAYERS000008 - Julia Nunn Species Records MPALAYERS000020 - 2009 Alien Invaders surveys MPALAYERS000235 - CCW 2D draft comments Crassostrea gigas MRLRC0020000080E - 2006 Seasearch Plymouth Sound MRLRC01000000008 - 2005 Kent Shoresearch Intertidal Survey 2005 MRLRC01000000009 - 2004 Kent Shoresearch Intertidal Survey 2004 MRLRC01000000010 - 2006 Kent Shoresearch Intertidal Survey 2006 MRMCS00200000904 - 2005 Seasearch Loch Shira MRMLN00100000093 - 1977 MNCR sector UK11 Liverpool Bay and Solway Underwater Observation Scheme MRMLN00400000002 - 1998 - current Britain and Ireland volunteer collected Sealife Survey records MRMLN00400000051 - 2005 - Ongoing MarLIN Alien Invaders and Climate Indicators survey MRMLN0040000007F - 2005 - Ongoing UK MarLIN Shore Thing timed search results MRMLN004000000A2 - 2007 Noss Mayo MarLIN Crassostrea gigas survey MRMLN00400000102 - 2007-2008 Kent Natural England Pacific Oysters MRSHS00100000002 - Kent Shoresearch Intertidal Survey 2006 (S-bc) MRSHS00100000004 - Kent Shoresearch Thanet Coast Wardens 2005 (S-bc) MRSHS00100000005 - Kent Shoresearch Thanet Coast Wardens 2006 (S-bc) MRSHS00100000006 - Kent Shoresearch Rockpool Recording 2005 (S-bc) MRSHS00100000008 - Kent Shoresearch Rockpool Recording 2004 (S-bc) MRSHS0010000000E - Kent Shoresearch Intertidal Survey 2007 MRSHS00100000011 - Kent Shoresearch Intertidal Survey 2008 MRSHS00100000012 - Neighbouring Area Surveys MRSHS00100000014 - Kent Shoresearch Intertidal Survey 2009 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.
