Metadata: Across Wales Subtidal Soft Sediment Surveys
Abstract:
Subtidal benthic soft sediment repeat sampling is carried out with SAC's across Wales to monitor Large Shallow Inlets and Bays, Estuaries and Sandbank features. Some of these data are collected in conjunction with the Environment Agency as part of their Water Framework Directive monitoring programme so other data from these locations or the surrounding area may be available upon request from the EA.
Data holder:
Environment Agency (EA)
Countryside Council for Wales (CCW)
Use constraints:
This data is jointly owned by CCW and Environment Agency. There are no access restrictions to this data. CCW may release, publish or disseminate it freely.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 3298 |
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. | Across Wales Subtidal Soft Sediment Surveys |
Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | 2010 CCW / EA Banks and Bays subtidal sediment surveys, 2011 CCW / EA Banks and Bays subtidal sediment surveys, 2009 CCW / EA Banks and Bays subtidal sediment surveys, Arolygon ar Waddodion Meddal Islanwol ar draws Cymru, Across Wales Bays and Banks Monitoring, 2007 CCW / EA Bays and Banks subtidal sediment surveys, 2008 CCW / EA Banks and Bays subtidal sediment surveys |
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. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-313039383332 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 109832 |
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 | 2007-03-26 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2011-07-12 |
Vertical extent (max) | A positive or negative decimal number, for example, the deepest depth recorded if subtidal, or, if intertidal, the highest point recorded. | 57 |
Vertical extent reference | This descibes the vertical coordinate reference system as referred to in the EPSG register of geodetic parameters. (epsg-registry.org) | urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG:: |
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'. | Triennial |
Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Subtidal benthic soft sediment repeat sampling is carried out with SAC's across Wales to monitor Large Shallow Inlets and Bays, Estuaries and Sandbank features. Some of these data are collected in conjunction with the Environment Agency as part of their Water Framework Directive monitoring programme so other data from these locations or the surrounding area may be available upon request from the EA. |
Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Monitoring work is carried out at the same sample station by the Environment Agency. Sampling is carried out every three years on in a rolling cycle. Previous projects that this work builds on was carried out by CCW in Tremadog Bay and archived at CCW as Project 143 (Media 469). Data captured: Abundance (and in some cases biomass) of benthic invertebrates (per 0.1m2) and granulometry. Supporting determinants are: National Grid References, depth of sample relative to chart datum, salinity (if survey is in an estuary), sample depth (in grab). Digital images are also taken of each sample both in the grab and after sieving and these form part of the audit trail for each sample. All samples are collected using either a Day grab or a Long arm Van Veen grab (both 0.1m2). Benthic invertebrate samples are sieved over a 0.5mm mesh, some samples have been split into separate 0.5mm and 1mm fractions in order to maintain comparability with historic data sets. |
Additional information | This describes relevant references to the data e.g. reports, articles, websites plus other useful information not captured elsewhere. | Lucie Oliver, Marine Technical Specialist, Marine and Freshwater Group, joint CCW/EA. |
