A Natural England commissioned study conducted by MarLin at the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, in order to utilise aerial surveys to accurately map the current extent of Seagrass Zostera marina in the Isles of Scilly. The aim was to integrate aerial survey and GIS methods with historic information, contextual information and groundtruthing to produce and upto date accurate map showing the extent of Seagrass in the Isles of Scilly.

Lineage

The survey comprised of historic data mining, aerial photograph image analysis and ground truthing. Ground truthing for presence or absence was carried out by means of visual observations; in shallow water less than 3m by looking over the side of the vessel, and for water depths greater than 3m by drop down video This data is reported as M_00329 in the Natural England Marine Conservation Zone Evidence Dataset. If any sensitive species or biotope records are present within this dataset, they will have been removed. If you wish to request access to sensitive species records, please contact the metadata contact. The UK Sensitive Species list has been agreed by UK statutory bodies and relevant experts. It can be viewed here https://docs.nbnatlas.org/sensitive-species-list/. Please note sensitive species lists can vary across the UK.
