Metadata: 2009 - ongoing The Marine Biological Association of the UK (MBA) Devon and Cornwall Bioblitz Surveys
Abstract:
Organised and run by the Marine Biological Association (MBA) in Plymouth, annual BioBlitz surveys take place in/around Plymouth (survey sites in Devon and Cornwall). These surveys aim to record as many species as possible as being present within a set survey area over 24-hours. A variety of different methods are employed, including times-species searches, plankton netting, Seine-netting, Pond-dipping with nets, mammal trapping, walkovers, push-netting, grab/core, transect/quadrat, and including Dive and snorkel surveys, although most records are ad-hoc sightings made during the 24 hour survey.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4093 |
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. | 2009 - ongoing The Marine Biological Association of the UK (MBA) Devon and Cornwall Bioblitz 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. | 882e6eedf8420c227a29160bb3d02c62 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | DASSHSE00000024 |
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 | 2009-08-21 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2020-08-04 |
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'. | annually |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Organised and run by the Marine Biological Association (MBA) in Plymouth, annual BioBlitz surveys take place in/around Plymouth (sites in Devon and Cornwall). These surveys aim to record as many species as possible as being present within a set survey area over 24-hours. Data was collected by volunteers, taxonomic experts and professional scientists over two days (24 hours). Species were identified in the field and verified afterwards by taxonomic experts and scientists at the Marine Biological Association (MBA). The first record of each species found to be present within the survey area is was recorded, along with the verifier. Some surveys include counts/abundance information and extra information associated with the record. Surveys include: 2009 - Wembury, Devon. 21st-22nd August. 2010 - Mothecombe Bay, Devon. 11th-12th June. 2011 - Mount Edgecumbe 30th September - 1st October. 2012 - Cawsand, Cornwall. 7th-8th July. 2013 - Looe, Cornwall. 23rd-24th June. 2014 - Batten Bay, 12th-13th September 2015 - Salcombe, 27th-28th September 2016 - Plymouth Hoe Bioblitz Survey 2017 - Lee Bay, near Illfracombe, North Devon 2018 - Yealm, South Devon 2019 - Wembury, South Devon |
