2010 Countryside Council for Wales, Subtidal Habitat Diversity Layer (Neighbourhood Analysis)

This layer was produced for CCW as part of the 'Identifying Marine Biodiversity Hotspots in Wales' project. Habitat diversity in the range is measured using biotope richness, biotope distinctness and the number of Biodiversity Action Plan priority features metrics. Data were queried and analysed using a neighbourhood approach that analyses data from the adjacent six hexagons together with the central one. A hexagonal grid with a resolution of 10 km is utilised to present these metrics. The purpose of this data capture was to establish subtidal diversity from known data around the Welsh coastline, from mean high water to 12 nautical miles offshore. An assessment of the suitability of data was carried out, taking into account the source of the data, its age, spatial, taxonomic and methodological accuracy. Data were also graded on survey quality using the following three categories with respect to field surveyors: professional and academic; volunteer with expert ID; and volunteer. Derived confidence ratings were recorded in the metadata and low quality data were flagged and removed from subsequent analyses.

Laith Metadata: English

Datganiad: Biotope information for subtidal habitats was collated from CCW and the National Biodiversity Network Gateway (Marine Recorder Snapshot from the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, JNCC). MarLIN databases and any additional data holdings within the Data Archive for Seabed Species and Habitats data (DASSH) were also used. Biotope codes were matched against EUNIS codes. Biotopes in 97.06 format were manually matched to 04.05 biotopes prior to EUNIS translation and in some instances where the code could not be accurately matched to the same level, and a higher level code was assigned. A hexagonal grid was used because they offer the best alignment to complex features, such as the Welsh coastline. The optimal size was determined 20km2 for the subtidal region. The proposed metrics to represent marine biodiversity in Wales were biotope richness, biotope distinctness and the number of priority features. Each measure was calculated for each broad sampling method type, re-combined by hexagon, and presented as a separate layer on a continuous scale. Data were queried and analysed using a neighbourhood approach (analyzing data from the adjacent six hexagons together with the central one) to identify differences (from that of a non-neighbourhood analysis) that may be due to very localized features or the alignment of the grid itself.
