Postcode to Parish to Ward to Local Authority District (December 2011) Lookup in EW

<span style='font-family: '>A lookup between 2011 Census enumeration postcodes for England and Wales, and the parishes / communities, wards and local authority districts as at 31 December 2011. Enumeration postcodes are a sub-Output Area (OA) geography used only for the publication of estimates of males, females and households in the 2011 Census. The enumeration postcodes are defined as only those valid unit postcodes that were recorded during the 2011 Census as containing usually resident population. Postcodes have been assigned using a ‘point-in-polygon’ methodology that plots each postcode's mean address (centroid) into the areas of each of the parishes / communities, wards and local authority districts (LAD). In England there is not a full coverage of parishes, so the 2011 Census enumeration postcodes that do not fall into a parish will have no parish allocation. There are also 23 parishes (0.2%) that do not contain any enumeration postcode centroids. This occurs where a parish contains population, but the centroid of the postcode falls outside the parish. In these instances it is not possible to allocate a postcode to the parish.</span>

2021 Okeanos Casablanca fishing port Morocco Rhincodon typus bycatch sighting

In February 2021 a whale shark was observed to be caught as bycatch by a bottom trawler at Casablanca fishing port, Morocco. The species was first identifiedÂ in a photo posted in february 2021 on social media. The exact date of the capture is then unknown. The only image we could have was blurred to guarantee the anonymity of the informer and attached to this message. This record was submitted as part of the Marine Record manuscript submission service https://mbr.biomedcentral.com/submission-guidelines/preparing-your-manuscript/marine-record.

2015 - 2017 Community Seagrass Initiative (CSI) South Coast Cornwall, Devon and Dorset Seagrass Transect Survey

The Community Seagrass Initiative is a citizen science lead monitoring programme. It focusses on sub-tidal seagrass beds in the South West of England between Looe in Cornwall and Weymouth in Dorset. There are 19 beds surveyed by the project in total, some, but not all, fall within the boundaries of designated Marine Protected Areas (MPA's). Data on seagrass shoot density, fauna counts on a very broad scale, and presence/absence of some Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) and commercial fisheries species. Data is collected by volunteer divers that don't necessarily have previous marine biological surveying experience. They have been trained by the project on the surveying and animal identification skills required.

Wrasse fishery data

As part of the management measures, an intensive data collection programme was introduced in 2017 to capture temporal and spatial trends in catch per unit effort (CPUE). This involves the collection of landings data recorded by fishers and IFCA officers carrying out onboard observer surveys. The data obtained is used to compile a report which is presented to the byelaw sub-committee and helps to inform the future management of the fishery.

2003 Royal Haskoning Ltd Fal Estuary marine ecological grab and core survey

Survey commissioned by the Falmouth Harbour Commission to determine whether maerl extraction is having an effect on the infaunal communities of the maerl beds within the Fal Estuary, Cornwall.  Infaunal species (presence/absence and counts) data were collected by grab and core.  Particle size analysis was conducted at each location.

Path Link

A Path Link is a linear spatial object that defines the geometry and connectivity of the path network between two points in the network. Path Links will be split for connectivity purposes (for example, at junctions) and Path Nodes will connect the Path Links together. Each Path Link will provide a reference to the Path Nodes at the start and end of the Path Link.
Path Links will be captured where:
They provide a route that cannot be inferred from the Road Network.
They provide connectivity between road networks.
There is a canal path or tow path.
There are paths over footbridges and under subways.
Path Links will not be captured where:
They run parallel to the Road Network (for example, a pavement).
They are connected to a motorway.
There is a physical obstruction which prevents connectivity.

Ferry Link

A Ferry Link is a linear spatial object which represents the connectivity of a vehicular ferry route across a body of water. A Ferry Link will only be captured where both terminals are located within Great Britain and where there is a timetabled service which is available to the public. Ferry routes with a terminal located outside of Great Britain are not captured (for example, Dover to Calais) and neither are ferry routes where the service is not available to the public.

Survey : TELL/01/1971 (part of CEFAS Historic surveys)

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the CEFAS Historic surveys;

Station and biological data collected during research surveys carried out by 
Cefas (formerly Directorate of Fisheries) in seas around the UK, mostly in the 
North Sea, since 1902. The survey hauls are not laid out systematically as a 
grid, as in current International Bottom Trawl Surveys (IBTS) and are widely 
distributed over (especially) southern and central North Sea areas. Gears and 
protocols were not standardised throughout, due to the long term nature of the 
series. Surveys took place in each season. Data are lacking for the periods of 
both World Wars. In some periods (e.g. the early 1900s), all species caught 
were recorded, whereas in other periods (e.g. 1920s-30s), only the key 
commercial species (e.g., Plaice, Sole and Cod) were recorded systematically. 
Note that some surveys targeted particular species (notably Plaice).

Survey took place between 13/01/1971 and 18/01/1971 on Tellina

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Otter Trawl BORIS FISH/PRAWN 600 Mesh, 20mm Liner, Rubbers

RV CIROLANA 06/1997 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.

1980 Eastern Irish Sea Groundfish Survey Catch Data - Silver Star Time Series

A series of groundfish surveys were carried out on the fishing vessel Silver 
Star from 1976 to 1991 in the eastern Irish Sea. Fishing took place using a 
Boris Goshawk trawl towed for an hour. This data is from the 3 surveys carried 
out during 1980. Numbers at length by centimetre of the main commercial fish 
species are recorded. Station positions by area are recorded.

Digitised fish spawning distribution adapted from the Olsen 1883 Piscatorial Atlas

The dataset is a collection of Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefiles 
showing the general distribution and spawning distribution of 14 fish species 
selected from the 46 maps in O.T. Olsen's Atlas (
`https://wellcomecollection.org/works/up4zvcsn`_) based on their relevance to 
the present day spawning datasets and commercial importance: cod, haddock, 
herring, lemon sole, mackerel, plaice, sole, whiting, skate, thornback ray, 
ling, horse mackerel, hake and sprat (general distribution only). The majority 
of the Olsen (1883) maps were for species either no longer considered in a 
large commercial capacity in UK waters (e.g. anchovy, garfish, tusk etc.) 
and/or had no comparative present day dataset available (e.g. mussels, turbot 
etc.). The data complements the present day fish spawning datasets, in:

British waters. *Published and distributed by UKOOA Ltd*, *9*.
