Description
A voluntary marine conservation area has been declared in the Roseland district, which includes a maerl bed (St Mawes Bank) of considerable scientific interest because it is the only significantly sized bed of live maerl in southern England. This report provides a baseline survey of this conservation area. Starting in 1982, initial spot dives were carried out at different times of the year in order to obtain information on the distribution of maerl. Subsequently two transect lines were laid from a boat across the width of the bed (800m) from the shore towards the Vilt Buoy.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 15 records.
2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
Versions
The table below shows only published versions of the resource that are publicly accessible.
