Countryside Council for Wales' Marine Monitoring Sample Stations for UKDMOS

The exact location of sampling stations that occur at each of the Marine Monitoring Sites. The purpose of this data capture is to provide an overview of legacy Countryside Council for Wales' (CCW) Marine Monitoring sample stations to Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and make these available to a wider audience through a central location. This will help facilitate a more coordinated approach to Marine Monitoring across the UK and promote the sharing of resources. Sample stations for a variety of monitoring programmes are available including: Benthic rock and sediment, intertidal rock and sediment, saline lagoons, scoter aerial monitoring, bottlenose dolphins, grey seals, shellfish (bird food) stocks, video and acoustic monitoring. At some locations this is the same as the Marine Monitoring Site location as listed in the separate metadata entry (Marine Monitoring Sites - GIS Dataset) for others it may be a series of samples stations within the sites and for others it may be a larger area that is surveyed remotely. The Marine Monitoring Sample locations are available online through UK Directory of Marine Observing Systems (UKDMOS). Included are the following legacy CCW Marine Monitoring programmes; - Intertidal Monitoring Surveys - Benthic Subtidal Sediment Monitoring Survey - Aerial scoter monitoring - Acoustic Seabed Monitoring of the North Llyn Modiolus reef - Benthic Rock Monitoring - Bottlenose Dolphin Monitoring - Shellfish Stock (bird food) Monitoring - Skomer Marine Nature Reserve Monitoring - Across Wales drop-down video monitoring - Saline lagoon soft sediment survey - Grey seal monitoring
