Mollusc (marine) data for Great Britain and Ireland - restricted access

Dataset homepage

Citation

Conchological Society of Great Britain & Ireland (2018). Mollusc (marine) data for Great Britain and Ireland - restricted access. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/4bsawx accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-05-29.

Description

The records in this dataset are the results of the Conchological Society's Marine Census which has been run since 1876 where the recorder has not yet signed the Society's access policy. This can occur because the individual is unhappy with the access position or simply because the Society has as yet been unable to contact them. Please note that the majority of the records held by the society are held in a separate dataset with no access restrictions.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

Preliminary checking of the distribution maps of the data has been carried out by Jan Light. However, the checking process is ongoing and this should be borne in mind when using the data as they currently stand.

Method steps

  1. The data have been collected by members of the Conchological Society as well as a wide range of other amateur and professional sources and are submitted often, but not always on customised recording cards. Recording is still continuing although no publications are expected at present.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

Good coverage of the UK has been achieved by marine recording but digitised data are heavily biased towards the English Channel. It should be noted that large holdings covering Ireland and Scotland exist elsewhere and the Society's data is incomplete in these areas.
