Metadata: 2001-2003 Cefas Aquatic Environments. Monitoring of the Berwickshire and North Northumberland Coast sands and mudflats
Abstract:
This is a study of 5 specific lifeforms provides a follow up to a survey carried out by Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies in 1999 (Allen et al., 1999). This 2002 survey aimed to map the position and estent of the gross life-form features: - Zostera spp. beds - Enteromorpha spp. mats - Mytilus edulis (mussel) beds - The position of the seaward boundary of the Spartina anglica zone. The dataset includes extensive GIS maps showing the distribution, abundance and denisty of the 5 target species around the focus site, and high resolution digital stills of the sample sites showing key examples of the biota in the habitats studied.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5909 |
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. | 2001-2003 Cefas Aquatic Environments. Monitoring of the Berwickshire and North Northumberland Coast sands and mudflats |
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. | fc47b27a042b0102064a87d7386603dc |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | NATENG000225 |
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 | 2002-01-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2002-12-31 |
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. | Two surveyors working in the field as a pair, each surveyor carried a Garmin etrex GPS reciever, a base-map and recording froms. The life-form was identified when encountered on the sand/mudflats and the boundary was then walked, whilst the surveyor took photographs, made contemporaneous notes and entered waypoints in the GPS, as Monitoring of BNNC Sands and Mud Flats Aquatic Environments 02/03 features of interest were encountered. Life-form beds were recorded where the percentage cover was deemed to be greater than 5% of the relevant species. Marine Recorder survey number: MRNE013400000053 |
