Marine records from Skomer Marine Nature Reserve (MNR) Marine Monitoring Programme

Description in English

Purpose of data capture: Monitoring is undertaken to provide an assessment of the condition of features against set targets and will contribute to reporting on the MNR as well as Pembrokeshire Marine SAC within which the reserve lies. Methods of data capture: Various. Please see Surveys in NBN metadata for details. Geographical coverage: Data is collected around Skomer Island and on the mainland between Musselwick Sands and Gateholm Island within the Marine Nature Reserve. Data quality: The majority of the records were created by NRW staff, qualified contractors or volunteers and are generally of a good standard.

Abstract in English

Skomer MNR was designated in 1990. This dataset contains the results of a range of projects developed by Skomer Marine Monitoring Team to monitor the health of the reserve and investigate the relevant aspects of the species life histories for baseline information. Large scale surveys developed in the 1970's and 1980's provided the foundation for the monitoring.
