Live Stream Gauges

Source: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=81c5a9f2a2704d54a49042a44eefa5d3 Information on the amount of water flowing in streams and rivers is critical to the management of water resources, emergency response to flooding, fisheries management, and many other uses. This layer provides access to real-time stream gauge readings compiled from a variety of agencies and organizations. Dataset Summary The Live Stream Gauges layer contains real-time measurements of water depth from multiple reporting agencies recording at sensors across the world. This layer updates every hour. At some gauges, flow in cubic feet per second is estimated using a [stage-discharge rating curve]. Flow forecasts are also provided where available. These sensor feeds are owned and maintained by the GIS community via the [Community Maps Program]. For details on the coverage in this map and to find out how to contribute your organization's gauges, please email environment@esri.com. Contributors to the Live Stream Gauges Service: 1.

Fish_Habitat

This service contains data on both spwaning and nursery grounds. These can be described as follows: Fish Spawning Grounds: This layer is the nominal spawning distribution as gauged from the distribution and relative abundance of egg and/or larval stages from contemporary data and Coull et al. (1998). Areas with higher concentrations of eggs and/or larvae that are considered to relate to more important spawning grounds are designated as high intensity. This data is focused on species that are considered to be of conservation importance because it was developed for the Marine Conservation Zones project. This may be insufficient for other applications. Fish Nursery Grounds: This layer provides the nominal nursery grounds for 17 highly mobile species distributed at a half ICES statistical rectangle resolution (0.5 by 0.5 degrees), Data were obtained from sampling surveys and Coull et al. (1998). Areas of higher concetrations of juveniles are considered to relate to more important nursery grounds. High intensity nursery grounds are those deemed as a main nursery ground with high relative abundance of juveniles. Known Limitations: There are several data quality issues, especially regarding taxonomic identification (Section 2.3), that need to be considered when interpreting the data layers. For other elements of data quality, it is recommended by CEFAS that the users of the data layers refer to the associated report on the distribution of highly mobile species (Defra Project MB0102, Report No. 15, Task 2B). More intensive surveys have been undertaken in the Irish Sea, and higher resolution (HR) maps are provided for Cod, Sole and Plaice Nominal spawning grounds for Ling are for a fringe of the distribution. The main distribution of Ling is not sampled appropriately for eggs & larvae, and no shapefile is provided. Data for the North Sea population of mackerel were not available during this study. For those areas (e.g. NW Scotland, parts of the English Channel and Irish Coasts) where there are no recent egg/larval data we recommend the user consult Coull et al. (1998) until more recent data become available. In many cases, available data are limited or are of questionable quality (e.g. due to taxonomic problems, sampling artefacts etc.). Hence, there was a need to attach a measure of confidence for the data available (see Table 4 om ). To enhance the way the data can be classified the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) carried out additional analysis to identify areas that were high or low intensity for multiple species. This allows the data to be classified by High/Low intensity and by the number of species. Each record contains attribution on the intensity, number of species and species type. Analysis was carried out using Geoprocessing tools in ArcGIS and ET Geowizard (Union, Advanced Edit, Dissolve and Spatial Join).
Common Guillemot Getis-Ord and Maximum Curvature Hotspots UK Wide

Data created 2018. UK-level hotspots maps for common guillemot based upon established techniques for deriving hotspots from density data for the purposes of delineating potential Marine Protected Areas (MPA) (Kober at al. 2010, 2012, O’Brien et al. 2012). The techniques used are Maximum Curvature and Getis-Ord analysis (see [guidance notes]). Using the outputs from Getis-Ord analyses we defined hotspots in three different ways, thus the total number of hotspots displayed is four (1 Maximum Curvature hotspot and 3 different Getis-Ord hotspots). The full technical report describing the work is available [here].
RSPB Woodland Opportunity

Data Created: 01/03/2021 Data Published: 14/06/2021 This layer value shows proportion of ground potentially available for woodland creation in each cell. These are limited to mineral soil types, i.e. areas with a total carbon content in the top 1m of < 100 t ha-1. More context can be found in this [story map] and the peer reviewed paper below [The potential contribution of terrestrial nature-based solutions to a national ‘net zero’ climate target]
Harbour_Seal_Density

This dataset shows the at-sea density of Harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) using telemetry (tracking) data from 1991-2012 which has been combined with aerial survey data from 1988-2012 within the East Coast Marine Plan area. It is the average number of seals in each 5km2 grid square at any point in time. 'At sea' density shows the marine distribution and should be used when only the marine environment is being considered. For the full report please visit the Marine Scotland website.
DrWPA SurfaceWater

This layer has been simplified to 50m to improve user experience. Drinking Water Protected Areas (Surface Water) are, within the Water Framework Directive, where raw water is abstracted from rivers and reservoirs. Raw water needs to be protected to ensure that it is not polluted which could lead to additional purification treatment. To do this water companies and the Environment Agency identify raw water sources that are ‘at risk’ of deterioration which would result in the need for additional treatment. These zones are areas where the land use is causing pollution of the raw water. Action is targeted in these zones to address pollution so that extra treatment of raw water can be avoided. This data includes what substances are causing the drinking water protected area to be ‘at risk’.

Recorded Flood Outlines (Environment Agency)

Recorded Flood Outlines is a GIS layer which shows all our records of historic flooding from rivers, the sea, groundwater and surface water. Each individual Recorded Flood Outline contains a consistent list of information about the recorded flood. Records began in 1946 when predecessor bodies to the Environment Agency started collecting detailed information about flooding incidents, although we may hold limited details about flooding incidents prior to this date. The absence of coverage by Recorded Flood Outlines for an area does not mean that the area has never flooded, only that we do not currently have records of flooding in this area. It is also possible that the pattern of flooding in this area has changed and that this area would now flood or not flood under different circumstances. The Recorded Flood Outlines take into account the presence of defences, structures, and other infrastructure where they existed at the time of flooding. It includes flood extents that may have been affected by overtopping, breaches or blockages. Any flood extents shown do not necessarily indicate that properties were flooded internally. A companion dataset Historic Flood Map contains a subset of these Recorded Flood Outlines which satisfy a certain criteria.
CEMPs

This shapefile contains point features representing Coastal & Estuarine Management Partnerships (CEMPs) for the United Kingdom coastline in 2025. Data are stored in ESRI Shapefile format using the Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere coordinate system (EPSG:3857) and were prepared in ArcGIS Online from Coastal Partnership Network source data. The dataset is intended for use at scales of approximately 1:25,000–1:1,000,000 and is not suitable for navigation or legal purposes. Accuracy and completeness are not guaranteed; users should apply their own quality checks before secondary use. Please cite as: Coastal Partnerships Network, 2025.

Greater London Archaeological Priority Areas (APAs)

An Archaeological Priority Area is a defined area where, according to existing information, there is significant known archaeological interest or particular potential for new discoveries. APAs are set out in the London boroughs' local plans. They inform the practical use of national and local planning policies for the recognition and conservation of archaeological interest. The Greater London APAs are based on evidence held in the [Greater London Historic Environment Record] (GLHER). The Greater London APAs were created in the 1970s and 1980s either by the boroughs or local museums. They are now being comprehensively updated using up to date evidence and consistent standards to comply with National Planning Policy. The new system assigns all land to one of four tiers denoting different levels of sensitivity to development indicated by an archaeological risk model. Image © Historic England Archive

* Audience: Public * Extent: United Kingdom * Year: Current * Update Frequency: Every Sunday Walk Wheel Cycle Trust (formerly Sustrans) is the custodian of the National Cycle Network (NCN). We work with our many partners and stakeholders to develop the Network across the UK. This view layer depicts more than 12,000 miles of signed paths and routes for walking, cycling, wheeling and exploring outdoors. While we receive updates from regional staff and volunteers on a continuous basis, we can't guarantee the data to be free of error. If you discover an error please inform us by emailing our [Walk Wheel Cycle Trust GIS team] so that it can be corrected. About Walk Wheel Cycle Trust Walk Wheel Cycle Trust is the charity making it easier for people to walk and cycle. Join us on our journey, [Walk Wheel Cycle Trust Website] Layer Visibility This layer contains over 35,000 polyline features. To optimise drawing performance the view layer has been limited to Cities (1:160000) level. Known Issues The NCN view layer's native projection is British National Grid (EPSG: 27700). The Network in Northern Ireland was captured in WGS 84 and reprojected to British National Grid. This is essential for maintaining a complete dataset and for producing overall statistics about the network. For this reason, the public version is projected in WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator (EPSG: 3857). Attribute Information 1. Description * TrafficFree: Cycle route closed to public motor vehicles such as a footway, cycle path or bridleway. * Onroad : Cycle route open to and used by public motor vehicles 2. Route type * NCN (National Cycle Network): Cycle route is signed by a number in a red box. * RCN (Regional Cycle Network – network not maintained/updated by Sustrans): Cycle route is signed by a number in a blue box * Link (connects to NCN, but not part of a route): Cycle route is signed by a number enclosed in brackets (blue or red box). * PROM: promoted routes, not part of the NCN, but links to NCN and forms part of national or regional routes e.g. John O’Groats to Lands’ End 3. Route category (RouteCat) * Main route * Alternative route * Temporary diversion (where a route has been closed for works etc and an temporary alternative route has been designed) 4.

Flood Map for Planning (Rivers and Sea)

Flood Map for Planning (Rivers and Sea) includes the following datasets: * Flood Zone 3 * Flood Zone 2 * Flood Storage Areas The information on the Flood Map for Planning (Rivers and Sea) is designed to only give an indication of flood risk to an area of land and is not sufficiently detailed to show whether an individual property is at risk of flooding. It doesn't show flooding from other sources, such as groundwater, direct runoff from fields, or overflowing sewers.
Sustainable Shores habitat creation opportunities  (indicative locations)

Data created/ data last updated: 2018. Sustainable Shores was an RSPB project aimed at updating our knowledge of coastal habitat losses and habitat creation opportunities. It also reviewed the UK policy and funding context to make recommendations for action. Sustainable Shores built on work undertaken as part of the RSPB Seas of Change project between 1998 and 2002. It benefited from input and advice from across the RSPB and from discussions with regulators and other NGOs, including the National Trust. This dataset was created in 2018, and maps the indicative site grid references of the opportunities identified by the project. The following sources helped identify opportunity areas: * The Seas of Change work from 1998-2002 * Shoreline management plans (SMP) where managed realignment is the preferred policy. * Areas where Water Framework Directive (WFD) saltmarsh condition assessments show a need for improvement and where any recommended mitigation measures support habitat restoration works. * Areas where SSSIs are in unfavourable condition because of coastal squeeze and/or inappropriate coastal management. * Areas where SACs and SPAs have been identified as being at risk of coastal habitat loss through coastal squeeze, inappropriate coastal management and/or climate change factors. * Areas where the constraints to converting defended land into intertidal habitat would be too great were excluded.

The layers attributes were updated in 2021 to cater for the new England Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO) scheme. The layer was edited in 2024 to add the ‘Premium’ priority area, based on data from the Habitat Networks (England) - Ancient Semi Natural Woodland map and the Countryside Stewardship elements removed.
England Woodland Creation Full Sensitivity Map v4.0

These maps will help to indicate to landowners whether there is likely to be potential to establish new woodland on their land, and where there may be sensitivities that would preclude woodland creation. The maps do not indicate that, where there is a low sensitivity to new woodland being created, planting will be agreed by the Forestry Commission, the regulator for woodland and forestry projects in England. However, the low sensitivity areas do not have clear constraints to address on the basis of national datasets, and it should be easier to agree creating new woodland here than in other areas. Likewise, creation of new woodland, particularly of native woodland, may be appropriate outside ‘low sensitivity’ areas, but the appropriateness of proposals in these areas will again be determined by the Forestry Commission, including through responding to the views of Natural England, Environment Agency, Historic England, the Local Authority and other stakeholders, where relevant. The Sensitivity Maps exclude all land that is unsuitable for planting, including urban areas, existing (and assumed) woodland and habitats that are considered too wet, too rocky, and too salty to support the growth of trees. This is achieved through restricting the Sensitivity Maps to the following land covers, based on the most recent update of Landcover Map: Acid grassland, Arable and horticulture, Calcareous grassland, Heather, Heather grassland, Improved grassland, and Neutral grassland The spatial datasets and individual layers of those datasets that define land as unsuitable and low, medium, or high sensitivity for woodland creation in the Full Sensitivity Map version 4.0, the Low Sensitivity Map and their variants are set out in the document here:<o:p></o:p> [https://www.gov.uk/guidance/a-guide-to-forestry-commissions-sensitivity-maps-for-woodland-creation]<o:p></o:p>
