Species point records from 1994 MNCR Menai Strait littoral survey

This survey was carried out as part of the Marine Nature Conservation Review (MNCR). The MNCR was started in 1987 by the Nature Conservancy Council and subsequent to the Environment Protection Act 1990, was undertaken by JNCC on behalf of the conservation agencies up to its completion in 1998. The MNCR was initiated to provide a comprehensive baseline of information on marine habitats and species, to aid coastal zone and sea-use management and to contribute to the identification of areas of marine natural heritage importance throughout Great Britain. Data collected through the MNCR was stored in the Marine Recorder database, and has been extracted from Marine Recorder to produce this dataset. For more details, see http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-1596.

Species point records from 1994 MNCR Lizard Peninsula and Falmouth Bay sublittoral survey

Sublittoral survey of the Lizard Peninsula and Falmouth Bay with detailed MNCR recording of as many habitats and communities as possible. The survey incorporated steep exposed bedrock, stepped exposed bedrock, sheltered stepped bedrock and boulders and cliff faces exposed to high tidal streams. Records currently considered sensitive have been removed from this dataset.

Species point records from 1994 MNCR Ardnamurchan peninsula sublittoral survey

Detailed survey completed by MNCR, SNH staff and contractor of the Western Approaches of the Sound of Mull and the whole of the Ardnamurchan Peninsular. Predominantly rocky substrata surveyed with a few sediment sites recorded. Some dives accompanied by Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV). Biomar completed sonar and video tow surveys the month previous. New diver cores were used with an area of 0.0033m2 (6.5cm internal diameter). Records currently considered sensitive have been removed from this dataset.

Seabed video GIS data from SW Approaches Reef (Canyons)

Seabed video GIS data from SW Approaches Reef (Canyons) (CE0705). The aims of the CE0705 ICES cruise were to acquire high resolution multibeam, sub-bottom profiler and camera data in the SW Approaches area. The cruise not only mapped the variable morphology of the SW Approaches area, but also investigated the biological communities within the canyon system for the assessment of potential SAC.

Coastal Physiographic Features - Estuaries

This is a shapefile of the coastal physiographic feature type 'estuaries'. The polygons in this shapefile represent the estuaries found within the UK. Where, estuary is defined as part of Annex I 1160 -Large Shallow Inlets and Bays: Downstream part of a river where it widens to enter the sea. Often with significant freshwater influence and predominantly comprising sediment habitats. For sub-divisions (coastal plain, bar-built and complex) see Davidson et al (1991).

Coastal Physiographic Features - Barrier Beach

This shapefile is of the coastal physiographic feature 'Barrier Beach'. The polygons in this shapefile represent the areas in which Barrier Beaches are located in the UK. Where, Barrier Beach is defined using the Annex I definition, 1160 - Large Shallow Inlets and Bays: Coastal features caused by long-shore drift which create sheltered areas (of sediment) behind them.

Organization: Joint Nature Conservation Committee
Coastal Physiographic Features - Coastal Lagoons

This shapefile shows the distribution of the Annex I habitat, coastal lagoons around the UK. Coastal lagoons are areas of shallow, coastal salt water, wholly or partially separated from the sea by sandbanks, shingle or, less frequently, rocks. Lagoons show a wide range of geographical and ecological variation; five main sub-types have been identified in the UK, on the basis of their physiography, as meeting the definition of the Annex I habitat type. The five sub-types are: Isolated lagoons, Percolation lagoons, Silled lagoons, Sluiced lagoons, and Lagoonal inlets. See http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/protectedsites/sacselection/habitat.asp?FeatureIntCode=H1150 for further information.

Coastal Physiographic Features - Embayment

This is a shapefile of the coastal physiographic feature 'embayment'. Th polygons in this shapefile represent the boundaries of embayments of the UK. Where, embayment is defined using the Annex I definition:  An enclosed area of coast in which the entrance provides shelter from onshore winds for the major part of the coast inside, but which is not a sealoch, voe, ria, estuary or lagoon.

Organization: Joint Nature Conservation Committee
Coastal Physiographic Features - Sealoch

This is a map of the coastal physiographic type 'Sealoch'. The polygons represent sealochs, glacially-formed inlets (fjords, fjards) of western Scotland and Ireland, including the voes of Shetland. Typically elongate and deepened by glacial action with little freshwater influence. Often with narrows and sills dividing the loch into a series of basins. 
This includes physiographic feature type - 'Sealoch & Bay' of Loch Scavaig, Slapin & Eishort.

Seabed stills reference collection from North East Scotland

Seabed stills reference collection from North East Scotland (Scottish MPA).  The objective of the imagery analysis contract was to undertake a taxonomic analysis of seabed imagery collected with drop-down video systems.
