Photo Monitoring of Statutory Sites
Systematic photo-monitoring of statutory sites, including data, paper records and photographic images. Steps are being taken to make the data available as a MapInfo layer with pdf links to a scanned paper record and a georeferenced point of where the photos were taken. Most images are from the 1980s onwards however there are some historical images. The files are referenced by Special Site of Scientific Interest (SSSI) name, SSSI code, year and the film number. The purpose of this data capture and archiving is to record and create a collation of the change of statutory sites over time.
