Metadata: 2013 Natural England Verification Survey of Intertidal Sediments within the Beachy Head West rMCZ
Abstract:
A Natural England commissoined verification survey of intertidal sediments within the Beachy Head West rMCZ. Phase I Biotope mapping was carried out across the rMCZ for broad scale habitats where intertidal coarse sediment occurred. Phase II Infaunal sampling was carried out to provide information on the benthic infaunal assemblages and particle size distribution of the study sites by means of core sampling. Sediment surface scrapes were obtained for heavy metals and organic contaminants analysis. The data was used to produce a EUNIS Level 3 boradscale habitat map of the Beachy Head West rMCZ.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4244 |
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. | 2013 Natural England Verification Survey of Intertidal Sediments within the Beachy Head West rMCZ |
Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | NERC_DDC, DATA_GOV |
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. | 9018f7e1e8a04d3d6d423adffdb3610a |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | GB003002 |
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 | 2013-03-17 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2013-03-18 |
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 |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Aerial imagery and OS mapping was digitised to produce baseline maps of biotope boundaries. The maps were annotated in the field to identify biotopes and boundaries as well as significant features. In addition, intertidal sediment cores were taken at 6 stations (0.01m2 cores 3 replicates at each station) distributed throughout the Beachy Head West rMCZ, in order to assess the benthic species present, along with an additional sample for Particle Size Analysis. Samples were sieved over a 0.5mm sieve. Sediment scrape samples were also taken at 3 stations for Tributyl tin, heavy metal and organic contaminant analysis. The methods used for data collection and processing followed protocols and standards for biotope mapping and sampling. 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. |
