Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Shoresearch

Dataset homepage

Citation

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (2018). Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Shoresearch. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/1nw3ch accessed via GBIF.org on 2022-05-20.

Description

Intertidal species records gathered through Yorkshire Wildlife Trusta^??s Shoresearch project during 2010 - 2013.

Purpose

To increase our understanding of the distribution of intertidal species across Yorkshire and involve volunteers and members of the public, thus raising awareness of the interesting and exciting marine species to be found within the North Sea.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

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

  1. Species records gathered during Yorkshire Wildlife Trust led Shoresearch surveys during 2010 - 2013. Intertidal surveys carried out by volunteers. All records are verified by experienced Yorkshire Wildlife Trust staff. Records are digitised by the YWT Living Seas Officer and validated using NBN Record Cleaner.
