Marine Recorder Snapshot extract of surveys entered by National Museums Northern Ireland (NMNI)

The UK Marine Recorder public snapshot is an aggregated UK-wide marine dataset, published on a 6monthly basis. Data are collated by JNCC from publicly accessible data provided to JNCC by UK governmental and non-governmental conservation bodies from data holdings within each organisation’s internal “Marine Recorder” marine data management database application. Marine Recorder is a benthic survey data management system used widely within the UK’s statutory nature conservation bodies to store and query benthic sample data across the UK’s offshore and inshore waters. The system is able to store species occurrence data (with associated measurements), biotope information in the Marine Habitat Classification for Britain & Ireland and physical attribute data. The system maintains consistency and relationships between sample information, measurements and surveys allowing for accessible querying of the database. Contributors to the snapshot are: Centre for Environmental Data and Recording (CEDaR, Northern Ireland); Data Archive for Seabed Species and Habitats (DASSH); Joint Nature Conservation Committee; Natural England; Natural Resources Wales; Porcupine Marine Natural History Society; Scottish Natural Heritage; Seasearch (Marine Conservation Society); Shoresearch Kent Wildlife Trust and The Wildlife Trusts. This dataset consists of surveys entered by National Museums Northern Ireland (NMNI).英国海洋记录器公开快照（UK Marine Recorder public snapshot）是一套聚合的全英海洋数据集，每六个月发布一次。数据由联合自然保护委员会（Joint Nature Conservation Committee，JNCC）从英国政府及非政府保护机构提交的公开可获取数据中整合而来，这些数据存储于各机构内部的"海洋记录器（Marine Recorder）"海洋数据管理数据库应用系统中。海洋记录器是一套被英国法定自然保护机构广泛使用的底栖调查数据管理系统，用于存储并查询英国近岸与远岸水域的底栖样本数据。该系统可存储物种出现数据（含相关测量信息）、符合《英国与爱尔兰海洋生境分类标准》的生物群落信息，以及物理属性数据；同时可维持样本信息、测量数据与调查记录之间的一致性与关联关系，支持对数据库的便捷查询。 本快照的贡献方包括：北爱尔兰环境数据与记录中心（Centre for Environmental Data and Recording，CEDaR）、海底物种与生境数据档案馆（Data Archive for Seabed Species and Habitats，DASSH）、联合自然保护委员会（Joint Nature Conservation Committee，JNCC）、英格兰自然署（Natural England）、威尔士自然资源署（Natural Resources Wales）、豪猪海洋自然历史学会（Porcupine Marine Natural History Society）、苏格兰自然遗产署（Scottish Natural Heritage）、海洋搜索（Seasearch，隶属于英国海洋保护协会）、海岸搜索（肯特野生动物信托基金运营）及英国野生动物信托联合会。 本数据集包含北爱尔兰国家博物馆（National Museums Northern Ireland，NMNI）提交的调查数据。
