2010 Defra MB0102 2B Distribution of Armandia cirrhosa in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man

This layer shows the distribution of the Lagoon Sandworm, Armandia cirrhosa, a Biodiversity Action Plan and Wildlife and Countryside Act Species. Only found in two locations on the south coast of England the species is nationally rare. This layer forms one of a set of data layers created for the Defra MB0102 contract. This work will support the delivery of a network of Marine Protected Areas as required to meet existing international and national obligations and commitments, including Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs), a new measure to be delivered as part of the Marine and Coastal Access Bill, and equivalent measures under Scottish legislation. The availability of these data layers will also be of importance in underpinning Marine Planning (e.g. licensing) in our marine area.本图层展示了潟湖沙蚕（Lagoon Sandworm，Armandia cirrhosa）的分布范围，该物种为《生物多样性行动计划》（Biodiversity Action Plan）及《野生动物与乡村法》（Wildlife and Countryside Act）所保护的物种。该物种仅在英格兰南海岸的两处区域被记录，属于国家级稀有物种。 本图层是为英国环境、食品与农村事务部（Defra）MB0102号合同所构建的系列数据图层之一。本项目将助力落实海洋保护区网络建设，以满足现行国际及国内的相关义务与承诺，其中包括《海洋与沿海通道法案》（Marine and Coastal Access Bill）拟推行的新增举措——海洋保护区（Marine Conservation Zones, MCZs），以及苏格兰立法框架下的同类保护措施。此类数据图层的可获取性，也将为英国海域的海洋规划（如许可审批）提供关键支撑。
