Data resource: 2001-2019 The Marine Biological Association of the UK (MBA) Shore Thing Survey
ShoreThing is a citizen science project carried out between 2001-2019 at locations around the British Isles. Volunteers, primarily from schools and colleges, conducted timed search surveys, looking for species from a predefined list across three coastal habitats: rockpools (RP); boulders/crevices (BC); and open rock (OR).

Data resource: 2004 Southward et al. UK habitat and distribution of the warm-water barnacle Solidobalanus fallax (Crustacea: Cirripedia) records - Version 1.5
New records are given of the occurrence of the warm-water barnacle Solidobalanus fallax in Britain and Europe. This barnacle is not found on rocks or stones, but settles on biological substrata, including algae, cnidarians, bivalves, gastropods and crustaceans. It also settles on plastic bags and nets, plastic-coated objects such as crab and lobster pots and octopus pots made of ceramic or plastic.With one exception the species was unrecorded in Europe before 1980; it may have increased in abundance during recent years as a result of rising temperatures.The cyprid larvae, which can metamorphose on plastic Petri dishes, appear to be adapted to seek out ‘low energy’ surfaces. One of the habitats colonized by S. fallax is the sea-fan Eunicella verrucosa, where it seems to have increased in recent years, possibly to the detriment of the cnidarian host. Solidobalanus fallax has the potential to be a serious pest of fish-farming structures to the south of Britain.

Data resource: 2004-2012 Bishop et al. Occurrence of non-native sessile invertebrates on the English coast
As part of efforts to monitor marine non-native species (NNS) populations, a series of surveys were conducted at 61 marina sites across England and Wales. The data was collected from 2004 to 2012. Only English data is included

Data resource: 2005 - Ongoing United Kingdom MarLIN Shore Thing timed search results [Archived]
Intertidal species effort-based search undertaken by students (16+) and volunteer groups with support from an ecologist. During the twenty minute timed species search surveyors look for 22 species, 4 non native and 18 climate change indicator species within 1 of 3 habitats: rockpools; boulders, crevices and overhangs; or open rock. Abundance is recorded using a simplified version of SACFORN.

Data resource: 2009 The Marine Biological Association of the UK (MBA) Wembury Bioblitz Survey - Version 3.0
Bioblitz survey which took place in Wembury. This survey's aim was to record as many species as possible as being present within a set survey area over 24-hours. A variety of different methods were employed, incuding 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 were ad-hoc sightings made during the 24 hour survey.

Data resource: 2009 University of Plymouth Wave Hub, Cornwall towed underwater video baseline benthic survey
This data set comprises of marine epibenthos (74 identified taxa derived from Algae, Annelida, Arthropoda, Bryozoa, Chordata, Cnidaria, Echinodermata, Mollusca, Nemertea, Porifera) quantified in June 2009 at The Wave Hub development zone, a Marine Renewable Energy Installation (MREI) in Hayle, Cornwall, South West UK. At each site a 200 x 0.5 metre transect of the seabed was undertaken. The survey was carried out as a baseline to characterise the seabed fauna present, prior to any subsea infrastructure being deployed at the test site. The design was also replicated to the east and west of the Wave Hub site to provide controls for future impact assessment.

Data resource: 2009-present Marine Biological Association (MBA) South Devon and Cornwall Seine Net Fish Survey
A site at Mothecombe was surveyed using two different methods. Push netting and seine netting were carried out at Meadowsfoot Beach near Owens Point. The species caught, by both methods, were recorded to species level where possible. Both the frequency (count data) and the lengths of each individual were captured.

Transect survey carried out by MBA members to monitor non-native oysters at Noss Mayo. Corella timed search also carried out.

Data resource: 2010 University of Plymouth Guernsey towed underwater video benthic survey
This data set comprises of marine epibenthos (approx. 74 identified taxa derived from Algae, Annelida, Arthropoda, Bryozoa, Chordata, Cnidaria, Echinodermata, Mollusca, Porifera) collected during September 2010 from the Big Russel channel in Guernsey, Channel Islands, UK. Surveys were appointed as part of a Regional Environmental Assessment to determine the feasibility of marine renewable energy developments in the area. Data were collected using a high definition towed underwater video system. 36 transects each approximately 200 x 0.5 metres were undertaken to document the epibenthos in the Big Russel, providing a baseline of species composition in an area where tidal development may occur and to identifying suitable control areas for future impact assessments.

Data resource: 2010-2013 Beetle Data from Machair LIFE+ Project Plots
Machair Life+ was a four-year project which ran from January 2010 to June 2014, and aimed to demonstrate that traditional crofting practices have a sustainable future. This dataset contains all records of beetles identified from pitfall trapping conducted across the 62 Machair LIFE+ biodiversity monitoring plots. For some records an aggregate of 2 species was recorded which is not available through the NHM species dictionary. In these cases the record is given here as the genus, with the species aggregate recorded in the comments. Precise dates for the records are not known, and thus the year of the observations is given here. The grid references for each record relate to the central point of the recording plot. As the plots were generally quite small (c.150m by 50m) these are reasonably geographically accurate.

Data resource: 2011 University of Plymouth Falmouth towed underwater video maerl and associated epifauna survey
Survey to establish the location and assess the extent, distribution and species composition of maerl bed habitats and quantify the abundance of associated epifauna communities in Falmouth Harbour, UK using a high definition towed underwater video system. Surveys were conducted in response to proposed dredging activities to deepen the shipping channel. The survey took place in November 2011 and transects were approximately 200 x 0.5 metres.
