Description

All Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) records held by WWBIC for Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire, excluding records that have already been uploaded by WWBIC to the NBN Atlas in other datasets. Please contact the dataset administrator if more information is required Records stretch back to the first sightings of INNS in the region. The number of records per year has risen in recent years as public awareness of INNS has increased.

Purpose

These records have been collated from a wide variety of sources both recent and historical. They are provided as a distinct dataset to allow full public access to distribution data of INNS in West Wales.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

Data are of a wide geographic and temporal range and have been collated from a very varied range of sources. Due to variations in recording effort data should not be regarded as a comprehensive geographic or taxonomic distribution of INNS in West Wales. Data was internally validated by a WWBIC member of staff before import into Recorder 6 although WWBIC cannot guarantee the accuracy of every record.

Method steps

Casual sightings, monitoring and species surveys

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

West Wales (Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire). Geographical coverage is incomplete; there are large areas of West Wales with very little recorder activity and therefore this should not be taken as a definitive map of INNS in the region.
