Survey : GEBL/M/1930 (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 13/11/1930 and 18/11/1930 on GBligh

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Lowestoft No 3 trawl with 65mm CodEnd with cover

Survey operations were undertaken on 25 stations

1 different species were caught on this survey

RV CIROLANA 1X/2002 High Resolution Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) Data

The data in this archive was collected from CEFAS (Or DFR) research surveys. 
It broadly covers the European Shelf with some data from the Iberian Abyssal 
Plain. Data was 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.

A comparison of benthic biodiversity in the North Sea, English Channel and Celtic Seas. Epifauna trawl sampling 1992-1996

Comparison dataset of Animalia in the North Sea, the English Channel and the 
Celtic Sea. Samples were obtained by MAFF research vessels from 69 stations 
between 1992-1996. A 2-m Lowestoft beam trawl with a 3 mm cod-end liner was 
deployed for 5–10 min across each station at a speed of about 0.5 m/s. Data 
includes information of the species found at each station.

The start and end of the haul positions were recorded. Tow length averaged 
about 400 m, but varied substantially (s.d.=290) depending on tidal current 
velocity and wind strength at the time of sampling.

On retrieval of the trawl, an estimate of sample volume was made, along with a 
summary of the contents, noting especially the presence of stones, rock, etc. 
The sample was then sorted on deck over a 5 mm mesh sieve.

Hydrological sections for England, Scotland and Wales with associated river catchment 2023, Water Framework Directive (WFD) waterbody and regional information (WGS84).

This dataset consists of hydrologically defined sections (polygons) for the 
whole of Great Britain including river channels and coastal areas up to the 
mean high water line for England and Wales. Each section has the following 
attributes:


-   The devolved administration(s) the section is within
-   The area of the section that is contained within the devolved 
    administration(s)
-   The regional administration (from the Ordnance Survey Boundary Line) that 
    the majority of the section is within
-   The river catchment that the section is within. These are the existing 
    Fish Health Inspectorate (FHI) catchment boundaries, new England and Wales 
    catchments to ensure complete coverage of England and Wales, and the 
    Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) catchments.
-   The waterbody river basin district ID and waterbody ID for England and 
    Wales from the Water Framework Directive.

There are 2 versions of this dataset; this one in a geographical coordinate 
reference system (CRS) (EPSG 4236 - WGS84) and the dataset in a projected CRS 
BNG (EPSG 27700) see `Hydrological sections for England, Scotland and Wales
