Sampling Description

Quality Control

Data do not have comprehensive geographic or taxonomic coverage. They have not been specifically reassessed in light of recent taxonomic splits or aggregations, and should be checked against original sources if there is doubt.

Method steps

  1. Dataset comprises field records submitted by resident and visiting recorders. Recording is mostly casual and all records are validation and are verified in accordance with OHBR policy.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

The vice-county of the Outer Hebrides and the surrounding marine areas (in the wider sense) and reflects observer location and activity. The majority of records are shown at six-figure grid references, but precision may vary considerably
