    A collection of ad-hoc rockpool sightings.

  2. 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.

  3. Data resource: 2009-present Marine Biological Association (MBA) South Devon and Cornwall Transect Survey of Crassostrea gigas

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

    The site evaluation survey at the Greater Haig Fras recommended Marine Conservation Zone (rMCZ) was carried out between the 5th and 12th of July 2012 on the RV Cefas Endeavour, cruise code CEND 10/12. The survey team for the duration of the fieldwork included Cefas marine ecologists, a sedimentologist, marine surveyors, a marine habitat mapper and MPA specialists from the JNCC (see below). The vessel worked 24 hours a day with staff divided among two 12-hour shift.

  10. Data resource: 2012 Onwards Scottish Lowlands and Southern Uplands Black Grouse (excluding Scottish Borders)

    This dataset is intended to provide an indication of the numbers and distribution of black grouse in the RSPB region of the Scottish Lowland and Southern Uplands, which consists of the counties of Dumfries and Galloway, South and East Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire and the Scottish Borders. Data from the Scottish Borders is not included as this collected and owned by the Southern Uplands Partnership. Records are included from 2012 onwards. Black grouse is a species of conservation concern and as such has been a priority species for monitoring. Surveys are carried out and co-ordinated by RSPB Scotland and Forestry and Land Scotland through a network of staff and volunteers.

  11. Data resource: 2012 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 surveys took place in February 2012 and transects were approximately 200 x 0.5 metres.

  12. Data resource: 2012 University of Plymouth Jersey towed underwater video Epifauna survey

    This dataset comprises marine epibenthos (approx. 26 identified taxa derived of Algae, Annelida, Arthropoda, Bryozoa, Chordata, Cnidaria, Echinodermata, Mollusca, Nemertea, Porifera) and associated habitat data (percentage cover maerl, sand, reef and shell) collected during August 2012 as part of an investigation to identify and map maerl beds off the east coast of Jersey, Channel Islands, UK. 47 transects were undertaken using a towed high definition video camera, each transect being approximately 200 x 0.5 metres. </para>

  13. Data resource: 2012-2013 University of Plymouth Falmouth maerl bed infauna and sediment survey using diver cores

    Survey to establish the infaunal species composition and sediment properties of maerl bed habitats in Falmouth Harbour, from SCUBA diver collected core samples. Surveys were conducted in response to proposed dredging activities to deepen the shipping channel. Core samples collected by divers September - November 2012 and July - August 2013 were used to assess habitat quality and species distribution by quantifying the abundance of infauna and analysing organic content, particle size and maerl structure. There were 6 sites divided into three 5m2 plots. SCUBA divers collected 8 maerl core samples per plot: 5 cores for faunal analysis and 3 cores for sediment and organic content analysis.
