This dataset contains marine mammal records, i.e. various surveys and mostly casual observations, held at the "North-East Scotland Biological Records Centre" (NESBReC). The majority of the casual recordings are submitted through voluntary efforts. more
This dataset contains marine mammal records, i.e. various surveys and mostly casual observations, held at the "North-East Scotland Biological Records Centre" (NESBReC). The majority of the casual recordings are submitted through voluntary efforts. Spatial coverage: Records are compiled from North-East Scotland (administrative areas of Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire, Moray and Cairngorms Local Biodiversity Action Plan area). However, records are biased towards well recorded areas, especially Deeside, Aberdeen and the coast and, to a lesser extent, Donside. Records are collected at a variety of spatial scales ranging from 2 to 10 figure grid references. Temporal coverage: Records span the time period from 1850 to 2010. The vast majority of records are since 1990, with an upsurge in recording post 2000. Most recent dates are precise. Some, especially older records, refer to just year. Data quality: Records have been submitted to varying levels of verification. Some critical species have been verified by local and national experts, though many records have not been verified. Please note: NESBReC shares data with a number of local and national recording groups; therefore, some records found within this dataset may be replicated in other datasets available from NBN.
