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.

Notes:
- This archive is more commonly known as BIOSYS - This dataset contains Freshwater, River Macrophyte surveys only. - Pollution Samples are excluded from the dataset. -The River macrophyte functional group, River Macrophyte Nutrient index and River Macrophyte Number of Aquatic taxa calculations in this dataset have been updated this year (2017) to correct errors discovered in 2016. -The remaining calculations in this dataset have not been updated. They display the value (which was correct) at the time the record was saved. If taxon values and hierarchies have been updated since this date an updated value will not be generated. As these values are used in a historic context they will not be updated in the future. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2017. All rights reserved.
