Collated Saltmarsh Survey of Wales (1994 - 2004)

This, now static, dataset was collected to monitoring the progress of saltmarsh development across Wales, between 1994 and 2002. The dataset comprises of a collation of biological data recorded across different saltmarsh environments. This dataset is now archived, as more up-to-date information is available about saltmarsh habitats across Wales. However this still forms an important baseline dataset in which to monitor the health and species richness across saltmarshes and overtime. This will help inform conservation management requirements for the important saltmarsh habitats. The more up-to-date surveys can be found in the following metadata entry: 114725 Priority Marine Habitats of Wales (coastal saltmarsh).

Lineage

The structure of this data layer was updated in 2011 as part of a project to develop a series of priority and protected spatial marine habitat layers. The survey methodology used to collect this dataset either followed the National Vegetation Classification (NVC) Phase 2 methodology or intertidal Phase 1 methodology. The habitats were mapped using GIS against either OS maps or Aerial photographs. The NVC Saltmarsh layer was identified as most accurate of the three layers collated and therefore forms the base of the collation. All polygons extracted from the Phase 1 Intertidal Saltmarsh data that intersect with the NVC polygons were erased. Where 2 NVC survey overlap the most recently surveyed is taken as the most accurate. All polygons from the 1:50,000 OS map that intersect with either the NVC Saltmarsh layer or the extracted Phase 1 Intertidal Saltmarsh were also erased.
