Private Water Supply - PWS supplier property - South Ayrshire

Scottish Local Authorities are the regulators for the Scottish Legislation pertaining to Private Water Supplies for human consumption. Further information can be found online at DWQR -The Drinking Water Quality Regulator for Scotland website. The main objective of the Scottish Private Water Regulations is to ensure the quality and quantity of clean, safe drinking water used by those using private water supplies which is not provided by Scottish Water.   This dataset is the location of addresses which are supplier properties of Private Water Supplies.  There are likely to be private water supplies that the council has not been notified of and so are not yet recorded in this dataset but they will be added when the council is made aware of them.

Statutory Plant Health Notices - Scotland

This layer shows the extent of Statutory Plant Health Notices (SPHN) issued by Scottish Forestry in Scotland. The SPHN extent defines the boundary within which the full conditions and biosecurity measures of the SPHN apply - for smaller woodlands this is usually the external boundary of the woodland. The layer includes both active notices and older ones which have expired. It includes SPHNs issued for any pests and diseases, although the majority are for Phytophthora ramorum.

The SPHN extent is usually a buffer from a confirmed infected site (250m for P. ramorum), but may exclude areas that do not contain relevant trees, or may be extended to logical boundaries on the ground, such as the edge of a forest block.  An SPHN is issued to the land owner, so the buffer zone from one infection could be split into multiple SPHNs if the extent covers multiple ownerships.  An SPHN is specific to one pest or disease, so if multiple infections are found in one area, multiple overlapping SPHNs will be issued, one for each pest or disease.

This layer contains SPHNs issued as long ago as 2010.  There have been changes to the reference number formats used and the details collected in that time, so not all attributes will be completed for all features.  This layer is not exhaustive and does not include some old, expired SPHNs, such as those for Chalara ash dieback.

Marine Environment Monitoring and Assessment National database (MERMAN) Contaminants and biological effects in biota - 1989 onwards

The Marine Environment Monitoring and Assessment National database (MERMAN) is a national database which holds and provides access to data collected under the Clean Safe Seas Environmental Monitoring Programme (CSEMP) formerly the National Marine Monitoring Programme (NMMP). The data collected are the responsibility of the Competent Monitoring Authorities (CMAs) who collect the samples from stations in UK waters using water sampling techniques, trawls, nets or grabs.  The CMAs then send the collected samples to accredited laboratories where they are analysed.  A weighting is calculated, based on the quality of the analysis. The weighting score incorporates the laboratory accreditation, reference material, inter-laboratory comparisons, detection limits, uncertainties and standard deviations. Where data do not meet a threshold score they are given a status of ‘FAIL’ and although they are stored they are not made available to external users.   The contaminants and biological effects in biota data start in 1987 with greater use of the database occurring from 1997 onwards. Data are submitted by the CMAs annually and an annual submission may include updates to legacy data to provide additional data or improve data/metadata.  The data held in MERMAN fulfils the UK's mandatory monitoring requirements under the Oslo and Paris Convention (OSPAR) Joint Assessments and Monitoring Programme (JAMP). These data are used in support of European Commission (EC) directives and national assessments, such as Charting Progress 2 and are also supplied to the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODNET).

RV ENDEAVOUR 15/2008 Low Resolution Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) Data

The data in this archive were collected from CEFAS (Or DFR) research cruises. 
They broadly cover the European Shelf with some data from the Iberian Abyssal 
Plain. Data were collected using the lowered CTD rosette system which is used 
when the vessel is stationary. Usually bottles were fired at particular depths 
and samples taken for calibration. In early years only a limited set of 
parameters were collected. Notably Pressure (Depth), Temperature and 
Conductivity (CTD). From Conductivity Salinity can be calculated using the 
UNESCO 1978,1983 formulations . In subsequent years more sensors have been 
added, notably fluorometers, Optical back scatter or transmissometers and 
Light (PAR, photo synthetically available radiation). The exact configuration 
varies between cruises and this is reflected in the data format of the output 
files.

Data was collected from research vessels on station, a profile from the 
surface to near the sea bed is undertaken. The down cast data should be a 
clean profile. Water bottles for sample collection and calibration are fired 
on the up cast.

North Sea / English Channel Plankton Survey - RV Corystes 03/1991

Plankton data from Corystes 03/1991 as part of series of 4 plankton surveys 
carried out in the North Sea and English Channel between 20th March - 28th 
June 1991.

The aims were to study:


-   The distribution, abundance and production of sole (-   *Solea solea*-   
    ) eggs as part of the ICES coordinated programme to estimate the female 
    sole spawning stock biomass in divisions IVb, c, d, e.
-   The distribution and abundance of the planktonic stages of crab (-   
    *Cancer pagarus*-   ), spider crab (-   *Maia squinado*-   ) and b
(-   *Dicentrarchus labrax*-   ).
-   The vertical distribution of crab larvae using the LHPR system.

Plankton samples were collected at each site on a planned survey grid. This 
data consists of the numbers of fish eggs and larvae, along with associated 
positional data and volumes filtered, of the main net samples. It does not 
include the LHPR samples.

Modelled gridded data of aquaculture potential in the Dorset & East Devon Fisheries Local Action Group area, 2018-2019

Gridded data (GeoTiff format) produced in the context of the FLAG 
Aquaculture Mapping project (2018-2019). The purpose of the project was to 
identify and map areas best suited (and with least conflict) to specific types 
of sustainable marine aquaculture, within the boundaries of the Dorset and 
East Devon Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG) area. The aquaculture potential 
layers were derived by combining information on conservation and legislative 
boundaries, human infrastructure and activity constraints, with environmental 
requirements for various combinations of aquaculture species and growing 
system, to identify areas of potential for each species/system combination.

The filenames of layers representing unique species/system combinations are in 
the format:

‘Dorset-EDevon-FLAG_[**species_name**]_[**growing_system**
]_AquaPotential.tif’

The filenames of layers representing grouped species/systems are in the 
format:

‘Dorset-EDevon-FLAG_[**species_group**]_ALL_AquaPotential.tif’

The data layers represent a broad overview of aquaculture potential in the 
Dorset and East Devon FLAG area, but detailed site-specific investigations 
would be required for local planning applications and licensing purposes.

Length and age data for North Sea Saithe and Barents Sea Cod collected through a self-sampling program in English fisheries 2023 - Fisheries Industry Science Partnerships

Two participating vessels collected information on catches and biological data 
including length data and otoliths from North Sea Saithe and Barents sea cod, 
between March 2023 and February 2024. This work was carried out as part of the 
Fisheries Industry Science Partnerships (FISP). This project was led by the 
fishing industry, in partnership with Cefas. This project aimed to set up a 
cost-effective continuous data collection programme for the industry to 
collect robust biological scientific data on national fisheries that are not 
covered by the current national sampling programmes, with the long-term aim to 
feed into the ICES stock assessment. This project presented an opportunity to 
engage the industry in the collection of biological samples from areas 
logistically difficult to sample routinely. The data shown includes summary 
catches of the target species (saithe and cod) in each trip and the length 
collected for those species, in each haul.
