All Wales, although the majority of data is collected for habitats know to be colonised by non-native species, such as ports and harbours.

Purpose

The purpose of this data capture was to collate and monitor the spread of non-native species in Wales. These collations of datasets contains records specifically for Sargassum muticum around Wales, and ad hoc macro-algae invasive species around Welsh marinas and invasive crab species within the Dee Estuary.

Data quality

The majority of the data where recorded by experienced staff or are verified with known experts and staff through the use of photographs, video or specimens, however volunteer records are also included.

Methods

Field observations and incidental records taken by field staff. Presence or absence surveys of marinas around Wales. Fyke netting within estuaries.
