This data layers shows the distributions of Seapens and burrowing megafauna in circalittoral fine mud biotope, this biotope is listed as a Habitat Feature of Conservation Importance under the Ecological Network Guidence (Under the grouping Seapens and Burrowing Megafauna Communities). EC Habitats Directive: Sea pen faunal communities can be found in some very sheltered examples of Annex 1 type Large shallow inlets and bays, and in Scandinavian fjords. UK Biodiversity Action Plan: Mud in deep water (Habitat Action Plan). This data was used by the advice of Natural England in the paper LUMB, C. 2011. Evidence on the distribution and quality of mud-related features in the Eastern Irish Sea. A paper presented to the ISCZ Project Team and Regional Stakeholder Group. This paper provided evidence on the distribution of mud related features in the North East Irish Sea. Due to the evidence review and assesment by Lumb C(2011) this layer should be used in the place of the data provided through the DEFRA lead contract MB102.

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The layer was generated from research undertaken in HUGHES, D.J. and ATKINSON, R.J.S. 1997. Towed video survey of the megafaunal bioturbation in the North Eastern Irish Sea. Journal of the Marine Biological Association. 77 635-653. This paper investigated distribution and condition of mud related features in the Irish sea by vidoe surveys of the seabed, the results of this investigation were digitised by Natural England (North West) and utilised in LUMB, C. 2011. Evidence on the distribution and quality of mud-related features in the Eastern Irish Sea. A paper presented to the ISCZ Project Team and Regional Stakeholder Group. This paper assesed all available published and unpublished data relating to mud features within the eastern Irish Sea. |
Additional information | This describes relevant references to the data e.g. reports, articles, websites plus other useful information not captured elsewhere. | This information was extracted from ESRIISO metadata (incorporating ISO and FGDC elements) using the EsriIsoToMedin xslt version 1.0;ISO Resource created in environment: Microsoft Windows Vista Version 6.0 (Build 6002) Service Pack 2; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.3.0.1770 |
