Description

Species records gathered during field meetings of the YNU Marine and Coastal Section since 2011, as well as records gathered during a marine life identification course in 2010. This dataset does not contain any mollusc records, as these have been provided to the Conchological Society.

Purpose

dataset.purpose

Sampling Description

Quality Control

The dataset consists of records made by volunteer recorders during YNU field meetings and ad hoc records sent in by YNU members independently, so should not be regarded as having comprehensive geographic or taxonomic coverage. Mollusc records have been extracted and sent to the Conchological Society. Where possible, records are determined in situ by experienced recorders within the YNU, and in some cases photographs and specimens have been sent to experts for verification.
Records have been validated using NBN Record Cleaner prior to submission to the NBN Gateway.

Method steps

  1. Species records gathered during field meetings of the YNU Marine and Coastal Section since 2011, as well as records gathered during a marine life identification course in 2010. This dataset does not contain any mollusc records, as these have been provided to the Conchological Society. Intertidal surveys carried out by volunteers. The dataset includes records collected by members of the public during the Scarborough Bioblitz in June 2011, all of which were verified by experienced recorders. Records from the Scarborough Bioblitz include specimens collected by a fishing vessel and by divers.
    Records were digitised by the Section's recorder and validated using NBN Record Cleaner.
