Description
Intertidal species records gathered through Yorkshire Wildlife Trust's Shoresearch project during 2010 - 2013.
Geographic Description
Coastal sites in VC61 and VC62
Purpose
To increase our understanding of the distribution of intertidal species across Yorkshire and involve volunteers and members of the public, thus raising awareness of the interesting and exciting marine species to be found within the North Sea.
Data quality
The dataset consists of records made by volunteer recorders during Yorkshire Wildlife Trust led Shoresearch surveys, so should not be regarded as having comprehensive geographic or taxonomic coverage. Records are determined in situ by experienced YWT staff leading the survey. Only species identifiable in the field are recorded and sometimes only to genus level. Photographs may be taken for validation or to send to experts for identification.
Prior to submission records are validated using NBN Record Cleaner.
