  7. Sedimentary habitats in the North Devon Case study area

  8. Sedimentary species data • Warwick and Davis • Outer Bristol Channel • RWE • EA grab sampling • NE Lundy sediment surveys • Andy’s Grab sampling • Lundy Field Society fauna lists • Marine Recorder

  9. Sediment and habitats data • Warwick and Davis Bristol channel sediments • BIOMOR 4 (Outer Bristol Channel survey) • Lundy habitat mapping surveys (Smith and Nunny 2008, Green 2012) • Andy’s Grabs • EA grab sampling

  10. Data Confidence • Groundtruthing with stakeholders • Using data collected to national standards where available (e.g. Cefas, MMO, EA, NMBACQ Accredited consultancies, Statutory agencies, etc.) • Quality Assurance (double checking things are where they say they are, and what they say they are, MESH confidence intervals.) • Quality grading (saying how confident you are using different datasets) • Stacking (comparing different datasets collected in the same area to see if they agree)

  11. Additional Data – Can you help? • Are we missing any important survey work? (see list on table for full data list) • Better understanding of activities and uses that leave a footprint on the sedimentary habitats (especially fisheries activity). • Better understanding of sediments. • Better and more detailed understanding of spawning and nursery areas. • Better understanding of management activities

  12. Types of data we can take Anything we can attach a specific or approximate spatial location to. • GIS (electronic mapping) • Spreadsheets • Paper records • Reports • Dive log records • Local knowledge and descriptions (drawing on maps)

  13. Mapping important areas What areas do you think are important and why?

  14. With special thanks to all our partners and funders
