This dataset provides the location details of Environmental Change Network (ECN) sites from which data are collected. There are 12 terrestrial sites and 45 freshwater sites. Sites range from upland to lowland, moor land to chalk grassland, small ponds and streams to large rivers and lakes. ECN is the UK's long-term environmental monitoring programme. A wide range of integrated physical, chemical and biological variables which drive and respond to environmental change are collated, quality controlled and made freely available for scientific research. The data form an important evidence base for UK environmental policy development. ECN is a multi-agency programme sponsored by a consortium of fourteen government departments and agencies. These organisations contribute to the programme through funding either site monitoring and/or network co-ordination activities. These organisations are: Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute, Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru - Natural Resources Wales, Defence Science & Technology Laboratory, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Environment Agency, Forestry Commission, Llywodraeth Cymru - Welsh Government, Natural England, Natural Environment Research Council, Northern Ireland Environment Agency, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Scottish Government and Scottish Natural Heritage.

An oil and gas industry site survey for a pipeline/cable route (Janice UKCS 30/17 oil export to wye-piece tie-in UKCS 30/13) acquired between October and November 1997. The block numbers traversed were 30/12, 30/13, 30/16, 30/17 and 30/18.

An oil and gas industry site survey for a platform acquired under licence P016 in October 2009. The block number traversed was 49/23a.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional marine sampling survey took place from April to August 1976 in SW Approaches and Northern Scotland on board the MV Sealab. Seabed samples and borehole cores were collected using a drilling system. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report 76/11 & ????.

An oil and gas industry site survey acquired under licences E422, P165 between July and August 2018. The block numbers traversed were 206/7,206/8, 206/12, 206/13.

Survey work began at the Mid St George’s Channel rMCZ. Hamon grab and Drop Camera survey. To increase the number of ‘regular’ stills collected from this site, short (2 minute) DC deployments were carried out more frequently and in addition to the planned standard (10 minute) DC deployments. In areas of the site where less than 100% multibeam data coverage existed additional Multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data were collected during transits between ground-truthing stations. On completion of the ground-truthing survey two additional blocks of Multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data were surveyed. These data are archived with the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centres (DACs) including the British Geological Survey (BGS) DAC for geology and geophysics, The Archive for Marine Species and Habitats Data (DASSH) and the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) bathymetry DAC. The full site data package including raw is also available on request from BGS.

Groundtruthing survey collecting Hamon grab samples (for infaunal analysis and PSA) and video and still image data. Multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data. WGS84 latitude and longitude co-ordinates collected by Differential Global Positioning System (D-GPS), depths corrected to Chart Datum (CD). Raw and processed data delivered to Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, UK (Cefas). These data are archived with the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centres (DACs) including the British Geological Survey (BGS) DAC for geology and geophysics, The Archive for Marine Species and Habitats Data (DASSH) and the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) bathymetry DAC.
