Summary

Lake Habitat Survey data collected using the standard Lake Habitat Survey (LHS) methodology by accredited surveyors. LHS is a standard survey of a lake where data is collected in a replicable manner. At 10 ‘Hab-plots’ (Habitat Observation plots) specific details are recorded about lake marginal features. General information about the lake is recorded in the 'sweep-up' section of the survey. The bulk of the surveys were conducted between 2004 and 2009. A total of 99 lakes in England have been surveyed once. This dataset contains summary information of the LHS surveys. The following information has been excluded from the survey data because there is a risk that we might be disclosing personal data: • Surveyor name • Primary use • Litter, dump, landfill (%) • Lake base data – this has been excluded because it was originally taken from an external source. Up-to-date data for UK lakes is available from CEH (Centre for Ecology & Hydrology) through their Lakes Portal (https://eip.ceh.ac.uk/apps/lakes/).
