Marine Nature Conservation Review: Rationale and methods 1996

Abstract

This volume explains the rationale behind the Marine Nature Conservation Review (MNCR) and lays out the methods used in collecting and analysing the data, including creation and use of the MNCR database.

The Marine Nature Conservation Review (MNCR) began in 1987. Its aim was to provide information describing the marine habitats, communities and species around Great Britain. This was collected in such a way as to underpin the development of management systems for marine nature conservation and to support the identification of marine protected areas.

This volume includes an appraisal of marine nature conservation needs in Great Britain, lays out the rationale for the MNCR and describes the methods used for descriptive survey and assessment in the marine environment. It provides a touchstone for all those concerned with the marine environment, whether in terms of education, research or conservation.
