Dorset SW Pilot species dataset

Records from the data holdings of Dorset Environmental Records Centre which covers both terrestrial and marine taxa, the majority dating from 1976 onwards but also including historical records. The database includes records from site and species surveys by staff and local naturalists, extractions of records from literature, records from other organisations which hold records for Dorset, and records sent in by the general public. The data quality is therefore variable but all records have been through a basic validation process by local experts before entry.

This dataset covers only the species selected for development of species inventories within the SW Pilot. For further information about these, or other species and site data, contact us via our website www.derc.org.uk.
