Habitat point records from 1992 MNCR north-east England estuaries littoral 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.

本调查作为海洋自然保护审查（MNCR）的一部分进行。海洋自然保护审查自1987年由自然保护委员会发起，继1990年环境保护法案之后，由JNCC代表各保护机构负责执行，直至1998年完成。MNCR的启动旨在提供关于海洋栖息地和物种的全面基线信息，以协助海岸带和海洋使用管理，并为全英国海洋自然遗产重要区域的识别做出贡献。通过MNCR收集的数据存储在海洋记录器数据库中，并已从中提取以生成此数据集。详情请参阅http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-1596。
