The dataset consists of records made by volunteer recorders during Yorkshire Wildlife Trust led Shoresearch surveys, so should not be regarded as having comprehensive geographic or taxonomic coverage. Records are determined in situ by experienced YWT staff leading the survey. Only species identifiable in the field are recorded and sometimes only to genus level. Photographs may be taken for validation or to send to experts for identification. Prior to submission records are validated using NBN Record Cleaner.Method steps
