Habitat point records from 1997 MNCR Sanday (Orkney) sublittoral survey

This survey was carried out as part of the Marine Nature Conservation Review (MNCR). The MNCR was started in 1987 by the Nature Conservancy Council and subsequent to the Environment Protection Act 1990, was undertaken by JNCC on behalf of the conservation agencies up to its completion in 1998. The MNCR was initiated to provide a comprehensive baseline of information on marine habitats and species, to aid coastal zone and sea-use management and to contribute to the identification of areas of marine natural heritage importance throughout Great Britain. Data collected through the MNCR was stored in the Marine Recorder database, and has been extracted from Marine Recorder to produce this dataset. For more details, see http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-1596. Records currently considered sensitive have been removed from this dataset.本调查作为海洋自然保护审查（Marine Nature Conservation Review，MNCR）的一部分开展。该审查于1987年由自然保护委员会（Nature Conservancy Council）发起；1990年《环境保护法》颁布后，相关工作由JNCC代表各保护机构承接，直至1998年完成。开展海洋自然保护审查的目的是为英国全境的海洋生境与物种提供全面的信息基线，以助力海岸带与海洋利用管理，并协助识别具有海洋自然遗产价值的区域。本次审查收集的数据存储于海洋记录器（Marine Recorder）数据库，本数据集正是从该数据库中提取得到。如需了解更多详情，请访问：http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-1596。本数据集已移除当前判定为敏感的记录条目。
