Metadata: 1985 Institute of Offshore Engineering (Heriot-Watt University), Poole Harbour, Biological and chemical intertidal transect survey
Abstract:
These records all relate to ''Institute of Offshore Engineering (1986) Biological and chemical intertidal survey of Poole Harbour, June 1985 (IOE/85/351)". A copy of the report is held at English Nature (Dorset Team). This report presents the results of an environmental survey of the intertidal zone in Poole Harbour. Field work was conducted in June 1985 by the Institute of Offshore Engineering (Heriot-Watt University), prior to oil extraction developments by BP on Furzey Island. Fifteen intertidal transects were sampled at high, mid and low tide levels for chemical, biological and particle size analyses. Only biological details have been extracted for this database. Plastic cores of 10cm diameter were used for benthic macrofauna samples. Six replicate cores per station were collected, totalling a sample area of approx. 0.05m2. The species list records all species retained in a 0.5mm sieve. Megafaunal counts were not made due to insufficient time in the field. Positioning: Lat/Long values with accompanying compass bearings to prominent landmarks are listed, but no reference as to how to Lat/Longs were derived i.e. GPS/Chart. Biotopes have been tentatively assigned on entry into this database based on the sediment data displayed in Figure 3 of the report.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 2637 |
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. | 1985 Institute of Offshore Engineering (Heriot-Watt University), Poole Harbour, Biological and chemical intertidal transect survey |
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. | 22c11e09f4056a15c2cb8f6ebba40df5 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | MRLRC00100000531 |
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 | 1985-06-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1985-06-01 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
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 |
