Metadata: Orford Inshore Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) Survey Infauna Data - 2012
Abstract:
Counts and presence/absence of species of macrofauna identified from 37 grab samples collected at Orford Inshore Marine Conservation Zone between the 28th February and 12th March 2012 The data were collected for the Marine Conversation Zones Project funded by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
Data holder:
Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS)

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 11048 |
Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Orford Inshore Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) Survey Infauna Data - 2012 |
Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | INFAUNA |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | CEFASe1ab26c0-7198-4df9-8427-c6dfef8cab3d |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CEFAS3894 |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012-02-28 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012-03-12 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 1 |
Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | urn:ogc:def:uom:EPSG::9001 |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Hamon Grab samples were collected at 37 sites within Orford Inshore Marine Conservation Zone during survey ORIN DISCO2012. A quantitative seabed sample was collected using a 0.1m2 mini-Hamon grab. The position of each sample was fixed at the time when the winch wire went slack indicating that the grab was on the seabed. Upon retrieval of the grab sample on board the vessel, excess water was drained from the sample through a 1mm sieve and the sample checked to ensure adequate quality. Samples of 5 litres and above were considered acceptable. Samples with a volume less than this were generally rejected and the station re-sampled up to a maximum of three times. Where samples of < 5 litres were continually achieved, a sample was accepted with the sample volume noted on the recording sheet.Accepted samples were emptied into a hopper and photographed. The sediment was also described and any conspicuous fauna were recorded. A representative sub-sample was then taken for Particle Size Distribution analysis (PSD). A volume of 300 to 500 ml was taken, depending on the nature of the substrate. Each sub-sample was placed into a strong labelled plastic bag and stored in a weather proof container.The remaining sediment was then gently washed over a 1mm sieve with the material retained on the sieve transferred into a pre-labelled bucket with lid and preserved with 4% buffered saline formalin solution. Buckets were clearly labelled outside plus an extra water proof label with details of date, project number, sample ID and a unique lab reference was added to the preserved sample. |
