Metadata: UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP)- strandings around the UK coast (1990-present)
Abstract:
The collaborative UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP) has been running since 1990 and is funded by Defra and the Devolved Administrations. It coordinates the investigation of all cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises), marine turtles and basking sharks that strand around the UK coastline. Information is recorded on each individual stranding, with a proportion retrieved for systematic investigation at post-mortem to establish a cause of death, to gain a better understanding of the threats that these animals face in UK waters.
Data holder:
Zoological Society of London, Institute of Zoology

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 3975 |
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. | UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP)- strandings around the UK coast (1990-present) |
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. | 815ecbf4af7e62e3fc2a507ae0bb848a |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 2747 |
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 | 1990-01-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2021-02-09 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 1000 |
Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/ISO_19139_Schemas/resources/uom/gmxUom.xml#m |
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'. | continual |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This dataset was collected by the collaborative UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme, under contract to Defra and the Devolved Administrations in Scotland and Wales (current contract MB0111, 2011-2014). Information on strandings around the UK coast has been collected from 1990 onwards. If any sensitive species or biotope records are present within this dataset, they will have been removed. If you wish to request access to sensitive species records, please contact the metadata contact. The UK Sensitive Species list has been agreed by UK statutory bodies and relevant experts. It can be viewed here https://docs.nbnatlas.org/sensitive-species-list/. Please note sensitive species lists can vary across the UK. |
