Metadata: 2009 Defra MB0102 2B Distribution of Gitanopsis bispinosa in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man
Abstract:
This layer shows the distribution of an Amphipod shrimp, Gitanopsis bispinosa, a Biodiversity Action Plan Species. This layer forms one of a set of data layers created for the Defra MB0102 contract. This work will support the delivery of a network of Marine Protected Areas as required to meet existing international and national obligations and commitments, including Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs), a new measure to be delivered as part of the Marine and Coastal Access Bill, and equivalent measures under Scottish legislation. The availability of these data layers will also be of importance in underpinning Marine Planning (e.g. licensing) in our marine area.
Data holder:
Marine Environmental Data and Information Network
Use constraints:
Public version freely available but must be gridded (10 km square grid resolution). Non public point or polygon data to 10km grid squares resolution

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5424 |
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 Defra MB0102 2B Distribution of Gitanopsis bispinosa in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man |
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. | ddef9fd87953e0557b6944ff8c2d6f71 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | MB010200002B0019 |
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 | 1978-08-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2001-08-01 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 100 |
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'. | notPlanned |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This dataset was created as part of the Defra MB0102 contract. Data was collated from a range of conservation and academic organisations and through a literature search. The surveys used to collate the point data are: MRCON01900000011 2000 - ERT - Amethyst B1D BP MRCON01900000039 2001 - Svitzer/ER - Bedevere Bedevere Mobil MRCON01900000067 2000 - ERT - Bruce M3 BP MRCON01900000123 2000 - ERT - Devenick Devenick BP MRCON01900000152 2000 - ERT - Forties A BP MRCON01900000154 1998 - ERT - Foinaven Foinaven BP MRCON01900000155 1998 - ERT - Foinaven Foinaven BP MRCON01900000156 1999 - ERT - Foinaven Foinaven BP MRCON01900000167 1992 - ERT - Fulmar Fulmar A Shell MRCON01900000217 2000 - ERT - Machar Machar BP MRCON01900000222 2000 - ERT - Marnock Marnock BP MRCON01900000248 1978 - IOE - Murchison Murchison Conoco MRCON01900000253 1993 - ERT - Murchison Murchison Conoco MRMLN00400000039 2000 Orkney, SEPA (5) Fish Farm Audit MRMLN004000000FE 1993-1994 New record Gitanopsis bispinosa at Plymouth Full survey information is available from the survey table in the project geodatabase which can be joined to the layer by the Survey ID. Field Explanations. Original Scientific Name: The scientific name (or in some cases the common name) recorded in the original survey. Scientific Name: The current accepted name for the taxon using WORMS as the definitive species list. See link: www.marinespecies.org Survey ID: A link to survey information. Where data is entered in to Marine Recorder this refers to the MR SurveyID. A few surveys could not be entered into Marine Recorder without risk of duplication occuring. e.g. Seasearch data that will be entered into MR at a later date, data from polygons etc. These have been given a project surveyID using the reference: MPALAYERS0000XX Date: The date the species was recorded. Vague dates have been entered as the first of a month, if only the month is known, e.g. 01/03/89 or as the first of January if only the year is known, e.g. 01/01/78. Unknown dates show as 00:00:00. Location Name: The location or site name where provided. SampleID: For Marine Recorder surveys the sample_key field has been entered. Event name: Where known an event name has been provided. Latitude: The latitude of the sample point. Longitude: The longitude of the sample point. Determiner: Where known the determiner of the species record as specified in Marine Recorder. For non MR surveys the recorder has been inputted into this field as it has been assumed that the recorder is the determiner unless otherwise stated. Status: The species status as defined by three terms; Present - the default indicating the presence of a species. Absent - Absence records have only been included in a small number of cases where a key historical population has disappeared. Uncertain - Indicates that the identification of the species may be incorrect and further investigation is required. Coordinate Precision: An estimate of the spatial resolution in metres of the co-ordinate, based on survey method, date and the derivation of the co-ordinates . This ranges from 10-10000 metres. |
