Site condition monitoring data for the intertidal sediment flats of Kentra Bay and Moss SSSI. The project established a baseline dataset in 2003 using 16 relocatable stations along 5 representative transects. The data was collected by the Government Digital Service.
Use Cases
- Establishing a baseline for future environmental assessment based on the baseline biological dataset
- Identifying deterioration in mudflat condition based on repeated surveys of relocatable stations
- Forming a judgement on current site condition based on biological and environmental diversity sampling
Strengths
- Baseline established in 2003, providing a long-term reference point
- Survey design includes 16 relocatable stations along 5 transects to capture diversity
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified
