Description: This dataset contains a collation of current and historic seagrass data by Natural England and the Environment Agency. This includes data collected or commisioned by Natural England, the Environment Agency, or provided by third parties that have allowed their data to be republished under the Open Government Licence (OGL). The dataset identifies a current extent of seagrass which used the best available evidence and has been agreed by both Natural England and the Environment Agency. Before carrying out any analyses using this layer, the associated README file, which provides a list of dataset caveats, should be read. Attribution Statement: © Natural England © Environment Agency. Contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown copyright and database right 2022 Contains data from ©Joint Nature Conservation Committee © North Eastern Inshore Fisheries & Conservation Authority 2017 © Yorkshire Wildlife Trust © Cornwall County Council © Harwich Haven Authority. The MAGiC version also includes data not included in the download file from © Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife. Seagrass beds are an important resource for both carbon storage and biodiversity. They are a designated feature in a number of Marine Protected Areas, used to inform ecological assessment as part of the Water Framework Directive, and are the focus of habitat restoration schemes such as the LIFE Recreation ReMEDIES project. This dataset contains records that qualify as open and therefore can be published under the Open Government Licence (OGL). These records are extracted and collated from the Environment Agency Seagrass Database and Natural England Marine Evidence Base (MEB), is a collated database of both NE and 3rd party surveys. All non-seagrass habitats are excluded from the Seagrass Layer, and datasets are clipped to english waters only. The Environment Agency WFD Areas dataset is used identify which area each seagrass bed lies within. Extraction of data from the NE Marine Evidence Base is based on the dataset identifier, access limitations and data owner as defined within the Marine Metadatabase to ensure that only open datasets are included in the open version. A full list of the survey datasets used in the production of this datasetcan be found in the Survey Metadata sheet included with the download.
