RV CORYSTES 5A/1993 High 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 Abysal 
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.

Survey : CORE/14/1971 (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 01/09/1971 and 16/09/1971 on Corella

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Otter Trawl Dutch Herring Trawl IYFS Spec.

Survey operations were undertaken on 8 stations

GEBCO Grid Global terrain model for oceans and land at 30 arc-second intervals  produced by General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO)

The GEBCO Grid is a global terrain model for oceans and land at 30 arc-second intervals which was developed and first released in 2009 by the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) as GEBCO 08. The current release is GEBCO 2014, released in December 2014 and updated in March 2015. GEBCO is an international group of experts who work on the development of a range of bathymetric (accurate mapping of the sea floor) data sets and data products. The bathymetric portion of the grid is largely based on a database of ship-track soundings with interpolation between soundings guided by satellite-derived gravity data. Data sets developed by other methods are also included where they improve the grid. The land portion of the grid is largely based on the US Geological Survey's SRMT30 data set, developed with data from the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM). For the area around Antarctica, the land data are taken from the Bedmap2 data set. The grid is accompanied by a Source Identifier (SID) Grid which identifies which cells in the GEBCO Grid are based on soundings or existing grids and which have been interpolated. The data sets are updated as new bathymetric compilations are made available. Both grids are freely available to download, in netCDF; data GeoTiff and Esri ASCII raster formats, from the web. Free software is available for viewing and accessing data from the grids in netCDF and ASCII data formats. The grids are also included as part of the GEBCO Digital Atlas DVD.

FISP Filling the Gap 2022-2024 WP2 Fisher interviews

Researchers conducted social science interviews with active and retired crustacean fishers in Wales and in the north east of England. The interview questions were centred around changes in their fishing practises overtime. We also interviewed processors, buyers and exporters on changes in market demand for crustaceans. Enforcement officers were interviewed on their port sampling practises. Interviewees were identified through Bangor University's fisher contact list and other fishers contacted through snow ball sampling.

Small pelagic fish sampling programme 2018/19 - Fisheries Science Partnership

This Fisheries Science Partnership (FSP) project was a collaboration between 
industry and scientists, responding to the need for data from the main small 
pelagic fisheries in the South West coast of England. It had three primary 
objectives: i) to collaborate, improve and continue the self‐sampling 
time‐series of biological data collected on sardine from commercial catches in 
support of the stock assessment; ii) to engage the Lyme Bay fishermen in a 
self‐sampling programme to collect biological data on sprat needed for the 
stock assessment and iii) to run an industry‐based acoustic survey in parallel 
with the existing scientific PELTIC survey to involve industry in the process 
of collecting fisheries independent data and to investigate several queries 
from industry about the validity of the Cefas PELTIC survey (effects of timing 
and lack of shallow water coverage on biomass estimate).

Retained EU Law / Assimiliated Law

The dataset includes line-by-line information on Retained EU Law (REUL, now known as assimilated law), as reported to the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) by UK government departments.

REUL was a type of domestic law, created by the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and which came into effect at the end of the UK’s post-Brexit transition period (which ended on 31 December 2020). The primary objective of REUL was to provide legal continuity and certainty at the end of the transition period.

On 29 June 2023 the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill 2023 received Royal Assent, providing departments powers to either reform REUL or remove it from the UK statute book. Under the ‘REUL Act’, REUL which had not been revoked by 2023 then became “assimilated law”. UK government departments have worked to identify the REUL / assimilated law they own and take decisions on, and actions to address it.

The dataset lists all REUL / assimilated law identified by UK government departments, which pieces they own, and a range of information including which policy area and sector of the economy it relates to, territorial application, whether it relates to an international obligation. It also outlines the current status of each piece e.g., whether it has been amended or repealed, the date of any action, and hyperlinks to any related legislation.

The contents are updated every 6-months through a cross-Whitehall commissioning exercise. Departments are responsible for updating their own datasets, which are then quality assured and collated by DBT teams.

Images from Archaeological Building Recording Work at Hendon Foreshore Barrier, Port of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, January 2023

This collection comprises images from an examination and photographic survey of the Hendon Foreshore Barrier, Port of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. This work was undertaken by Archaeological Services Durham University in January 2023. The damaged Hendon Foreshore Barrier was created as part of the original construction of the adjoining Hendon Dock, between 1864 and 1868. The structure of the sea wall is a braced timber frame with wooden facing filled with other materials. The original structure has been repaired on many occasions but much of what stands today is original fabric. According to the proposal drawings the old timber, stone and concrete sea wall will remain in place under a new and stronger concrete casing.

2011 Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) Scotland Didemnum vexillum records

The carpet sea squirt (Didemnum vexillum) is an invasive non-native species of colonial sea squirt that has recently been found in England, Ireland, Wales and at one location in the Clyde, on the west coast of Scotland. The potential ecological and economic impacts of this species are significant. A rapid response eradication programme in Holyhead Harbour is currently underway, showing signs of some success so far. However, it is not known how far this species has spread within the UK, and surveys are underway in England and Wales to determine its distribution. It is crucial to know as soon as possible how far it has spread, as
      this information will determine what the appropriate response will be - if it is confined to only a few sites, it may be possible to attempt eradication. If it is already more widespread, then containment or control measures will be more appropriate.
      No specific surveys targeting this species had previously been carried out in Scotland, so it was not known whether it was present just in the one marina in the Clyde or whether it was more widespread. This project involved a series of rapid assessment surveys of those marinas and harbours thought to be most likely at risk from establishment (e.g. those in the Clyde and on the west coast of Scotland) and will inform SNHâs policy for dealing with this species, as well as the wider UK policy for response.

Data associated with 'A 17-year time-series of fungal environmental DNA from a coastal marine ecosystem reveals long-term seasonal-scale and inter-annual diversity patterns'

Dataset associated with the published article: Chrismas Nathan, Allen Ro, Allen Michael J., Bird Kimberley and Cunliffe Michael 2023.  A 17-year time-series of fungal environmental DNA from a coastal marine ecosystem reveals long-term seasonal-scale and inter-annual diversity patterns.  Proc. R. Soc. B.2902022212920222129.
     Changing patterns in diversity are a feature of many habitats, with seasonality a major driver of ecosystem structure and function. In coastal marine plankton-based ecosystems, seasonality has been established through long-term time-series of bacterioplankton and protists. Alongside these groups, fungi also inhabit coastal marine ecosystems. If and how marine fungi show long-term intra- and inter-annual diversity patterns is unknown, preventing a comprehensive understanding of marine fungal ecology. Here, we use a 17-year environmental DNA time-series from the English Channel to determine long-term marine fungal diversity patterns. We show that fungal community structure progresses at seasonal and monthly scales and is only weakly related to environmental parameters. Communities restructured every 52-weeks suggesting long-term stability in diversity patterns. Some major marine fungal genera have clear inter-annual recurrence patterns, re-appearing in the annual cycle at the same period. Low relative abundance taxa that are likely non-marine show seasonal input to the coastal marine ecosystem suggesting landâsea exchange regularly takes place. Our results demonstrate long-term intra- and inter-annual marine fungal diversity patterns. We anticipate this study could form the basis for better understanding the ecology of marine fungi and how they fit in the structure and function of the wider coastal marine ecosystem.
