KiEco Marine Ecology: Marine Benthic Invertebrates
Listed in GBIF
This data collates all the benthic invertebrate samples collected within Wales from 1988 onwards by Natural Resources Wales and former Environment Agency Wales under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and Clean Seas Environment Monitoring Program (CSEMP) sampling programs.
Description
The dataset contains the presence, and abundance, of benthic invertebrate species at specific marine monitoring points held within the KiECO database.
For many of our marine survey techniques we record an NGR at the site because this acts as a central/representative location around which we collect lots of samples. An NGR is then also recorded against each of the samples to give a more accurate sampling location.
