2009 Defra MB0102 2B Distribution of Nematostella vectensis in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man

This layer shows the distribution of the Starlet Sea Anemone, Nemastostella vectensis, a Biodiversity Action Plan, and Wildlife and Countryside Act Species. 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.本图层展示了星状海葵（Nemastostella vectensis）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。 本图层为Defra MB0102号合同项下构建的数据集图层集合之一。本项目将助力搭建符合现有国际及国内义务与承诺要求的海洋保护区网络，其中包括作为《海洋与沿海通道法案》配套举措的海洋保育区（Marine Conservation Zones, MCZs），以及苏格兰立法框架下的同类保护措施。上述数据集图层的可获取性，也将为本辖区海域的海洋规划工作（如许可审批）提供关键支撑。
