Title

2010 Defra MB0102 2B Distribution of Ascophyllum nodosum ecad mackaii in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man

Abstract

This layer shows the distribution of the Wig Wrack or Sea-loch Egg Wrack, Ascophyllum nodosum ecad mackaii, a Biodiversity Action Plan Species. 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. The surveys used to collate the point data are: JNCCMNCR10000002 1988 MNCR Skye sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000003 1988 MNCR Lochs Duich, Long and Alsh survey JNCCMNCR10000005 1990 MNCR Loch Leven (Lochaber) survey JNCCMNCR10000009 1990 MNCR Loch Tarbert (Jura) survey JNCCMNCR10000010 1979-82 NCC/RSM Jura and Islay littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000027 1989 UMBSM Arisaig and Moidart sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000031 1990 UMBSM Harris and Lewis sealochs survey JNCCMNCR10000033 1991 MNCR Loch Bracadale (Skye) survey JNCCMNCR10000034 1991 MNCR Loch Laxford and Inchard littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000053 1985 Smith Loch Torridon and Loch Carron survey JNCCMNCR10000055 1984 Smith west Sutherland survey JNCCMNCR10000081 1984 Smith Loch Sween mollusc and polychaete littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000085 1983 Smith Mull littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000092 1982 Smith Lewis littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000095 1987 Heriot-Watt University Loch Moidart littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000096 1974 University of Dundee Loch Inchard littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000098 1984 OPRU Upper Loch Sween littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000175 1990 MNCR Loch Sunart sediment survey JNCCMNCR10000265 1970-80 SMBA/MBA Great Britain littoral survey JNCCMNCR10000290 1991 Scott Skye bridge survey JNCCMNCR10000450 1995 MNCR South Uist, Barra and the Inner Hebrides lagoon survey JNCCMNCR10000472 1993 MNCR Shetland lagoons survey JNCCMNCR10000473 1994 MNCR west mainland Scotland lagoon survey JNCCMNCR30000497 1994 SNH Loch Sunart biotope survey JNCCMNCR30000727 1993 SNH Canna littoral survey MPALAYERS000001 Phycological Society Records MPALAYERS000008 Julia Nunn Species Records MRMLN00400000104 DEFRA MPA Layers Isolated species records within literature MRSNH0010000001D 2001 Loch Laxford intertidal broad scale survey MRSNH01100000015 1994 Littoral Seaweed Resource Assessment and Management in the Western Isles MRSNH01200000008 2003 ERT SCM survey of Vadills lagoons 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 occurring. 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.
