Great Crested Newt Evidence Enhancement Project 2013

Location of ponds surveyed as part of Phase 1 of the Natural England 2013 Greated Crested Newt Evidence Enhancement Project (NE GCN EEP Surveyed GIS).Great crested newts (GCN), alongside other species listed in Annexes II and IV of the Habitats Directive, are afforded particular protection because of their conservation status at a European scale. This species is widespread in Europe, but has declined since the 1940s. In the UK, GCN are widespread and locally common, with a patchy distribution, especially in South West England, parts of Wales, and in Scotland. A requirement of the Habitats Directive of each EU member state is to ensure that European Protected Species are maintained at or restored to ‘favourable conservation status’ across their natural range. In order to better understand the conservation status of the species in England, a much better understanding is needed of the distribution and extent of the population of the species in its natural range, and the habitat available to it. This project forms part of a series of projects to produce an enhanced evidence base which can be used to inform decisions about land-use planning and determining conservation status. It is the first of a two-stage exercise to collect data to develop a model for predicting the presence of GCN. Potential applications of a predictive model could include earlier identification of areas where GCN can be ruled in or out as a concern in land-use planning decisions. Data is a sample of ponds identified in pilot survey locations. Data should subsequently not be used as a definitive indicator of total pond coverage.

Integrated Site Assessment Species Records

Integrated Site Assessments are carried out by Natural England staff to assess the condition of notified features on Sites of Special Scientific Interest, and Indicators of Success on Higher Level Stewardship agri-environment schemes. The ISA process integrates surveys for both purposes, so where they co-occur they are usually recorded together. Individual surveys include the recording of a variety of species within SSSI Units and/or Rural Land Register Parcels, as well as other non-biotic measurements such as vegetation structure, which together are used in the assessment of SSSI feature condition, Indicators of Success, or both. Species records are associated with the SSSI units and/or RLR Parcels containing the list of features which are the subject of each part of the ISA survey, so survey 'feature lists' are used to define discrete geographic areas within which the species were recorded. Precise BNG grid references, or eastings and northings, are not recorded for individual species, and the precise extent of the features (usually semi-natual habitats) within the SSSI units and/or RLR parcels is unknown. Each species record is provided with additional attribute information including the list of features assessed, the variable and summary value. Species recorded are mostly vascular plants, often because they are used within ISAs to indicate good or poor habitat condition. Only species that were actually seen are included - there are no 'absence' records. Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright.

Nature Recovery Projects (England)

This dataset defines the boundaries of twelve Nature Recovery Projects forming a key part of the 25 Year Environment Plan’s commitment to deliver the Nature Recovery Network (NRN). The twelve projects included in this dataset are: East of Eden, Purple Horizons, Somerset Coast Levels and Moors, G7 Legacy, Wye Valley, Wendling Beck, Lost Wetlands, Heathland Connections, Bradford & South Pennines, Seaford to Eastbourne: Drink-in the Downs, Tees Estuary Recovering Nature (TERN), Cambridge Nature Network. The boundary for the Lost Wetlands Project has not yet been confirmed and is subject to change.

The Nature Recovery Projects form a key part of the 25 Year Environment Plan’s commitment to deliver the Nature Recovery Network (NRN). They aim to follow Lawton principles to create more, bigger, better and, crucially, connected, sustained and functional wildlife-rich places. Places that counter biodiversity loss, adapt to climate change and support the needs of local communities. They will provide natural solutions to reduce carbon emissions, enhance our landscapes and cultural heritage, manage flood risk and enable  people to enjoy and connect with nature where they live, work and play – benefiting health and wellbeing.

This dataset shows the location and boundaries of Nature Recovery Projects throughout England. The main outline of each one was provided by the project lead, and in some cases these were refined by following geographic or administrative boundairies as listed below: OS Open rivers (OGL), AONBs(OGL), County Boundaries(OGL), OS Open Roads(OGL), SSSIs(OGL), Environmentally Sensitive Areas(OGL), Flood Risk Zone 3(OGL), NNRs(OGL), Marine Conservation Zone(OGL).

Nature for Climate Peatland Grant Scheme Discovery Grant Focal Areas (England)

This is a spatial dataset describing the geographic focus areas of sites that were investigated under the NCPGS Discovery grant funding. The NCPGS funds peatland restoration and is made up of two grants: Restoration and Discovery. Discovery grants, shown in this spatial dataset, work to unlock barriers and prepare projects for peat restoration. Given the investigative activities undertaken in Discovery grants are difficult to map (like engagement), these have been represented as focus areas, with the intent to represent information at a project level rather than site level.
The purpose of this dataset is to make it more transparent where the NCPGS has funded preparatory peatland survey work; peat depth, hydrological, archaeological or ecological survey. Whilst the specifics of these surveys are not represented here, the peat team may hold more detailed information associated with the Discovery focus areas shown Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright and/or database right 2023.

Plymouth Sound and Estuaries Substrate Map

This dataset is a broad scale biotope map of Plymouth Sound. This map was produced as a result of a broad scale mapping survey of Plymouth Sound carried out in July 1996. A data review was also carried out in this study. Mapping was carried out using acoustic techniques, validated by dive and remote survey. Predictive maps of biotopes were prepared with GIS.

Seabird Mapping & Sensitivity Tool (SeaMaST)

SeaMaST provides evidence on the use of sea areas by seabirds and inshore waterbirds in English territorial waters, mapping their relative sensitivity to offshore wind farm and wave/tidal energy developments. Data were compiled from offshore boat and aerial observer surveys spanning the period 1979–2012. The data were analysed using distance analysis and Density Surface Modelling to produce predicted bird densities across a grid covering English territorial waters at a resolution of 3 km x 3 km. Coefficients of Variation were estimated for each grid cell density, as an indication of confidence in predictions. Offshore wind farm sensitivity scores were compiled for seabird species using English territorial waters in breeding and non-breeding seasons, according to the BDMPS (Biologically Defined Minimum Population Scales) project (http://publications.naturalengland.org.uk/publication/6427568802627584). The comparative risks to each species of collision with turbines and displacement from operational turbines were reviewed and scored separately, and the scores were multiplied by the bird density estimates to produce relative sensitivity maps.

Severn Estuary High Tide Waterbird Roost Sites (Brean Down to Clevedon)

Identification of wintering waterbird high tide roosts on the Severn Estuary SSSI/SPA completed in four phases:Phase 1 includes the Brean Down to Clevedon stretch. Phases 2 & 3 were completed at the same time. Phase 2 included the Clevedon to Oldbury stretch and Phase 3 Bridgwater Bay. Phases 2 & 3 also identified the subsites within Steart Marshes in Bridgwater Bay.Phase 4 includes the Gloucestershire area.This is a spatial dataset that identifies the locations of waterbird high tide roost sites in the Severn Estuary; and characterises the habitat(s) and waterbird composition. Information on the presence of waterbirds and their roost site characteristics was collected for each sector from the following sources: (i) WeBS core count (ie, high tide) data supplied by the BTO; (ii) interviews with the relevant WeBS counter; and (iii) site visits. This study provides much more detailed information than is generally available for the BTO collected WeBS data. The roost locations will help to determine whether the activities associated with a proposed plan or project could lead to impacts which have a significant adverse effect upon any given species or assemblage of water bird(s).
