GEMS LARGE SCALE FEATURES POLYGON DATASET

Collation of large-scale features of functional significance records contributing to the Geodatabase of Marine features adjacent to Scotland (GeMS). Records are attributed as to their qualification as protected features of protected areas within the Scottish MPA network. Where appropriate typical record details will include: status as Scottish Large-scale features of functional significance or Annex I Habitat, MNCR biotope, EUNIS habitat, date, date range, year, status, accuracy, determiner and details of where the records are sourced from and intellectual property ownership. Contains attribution relating to the protected status of the various feature records. Polygon area values in the HECTARES field are calculated using ETRS89-LAEA (EPSG:3035) using the standard centre of projection at 10° E, 52° N.

Statement

This feature class contains large-scale feature polygon records that have been iteratively added on and since the initial creation of the dataset. Records are sourced from multiple data owners, and provided for addition to the dataset by either Scottish Natural Heritage or Joint Nature Conservation Committee. Intellectual Property Ownership of individual records is varied. Records were originally collected for a variety of purposes and record collection was done through a variety of methodologies. No records were originally collected with the specific purpose of inclusion within this collation; the dataset accepts records relevant to Priority Marine Features, MPA Search Features and Annex I habitat records. Records have had a standardised data structure applied, and as such may not include all the attributes available within their original source.
