In addition to leading the MESH project, JNCC's marine habitat mapping work involves the production and subsequent revision of the National marine habitat classification for Britain and Ireland which was also fully incorporated into the EUNIS classification system. Other work involves the provision of advice to the UK conservation agencies, government bodies and others on various mapping techniques and technologies. JNCC contributes to International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) work on marine habitat mapping and has produced a Marine Monitoring Handbook that holds procedural guidelines to many of these techniques and technologies. 2022-02-10T15:40:47 ISO 19115:2003/19139 1.0 MNCR Area Summaries - Sealochs in north-west Scotland GB000290 AreaSumm15_WGS84_S.shp 2015-12-15 2015-12-15 null Nature conservation Dipper, F.A., & Johnston, C.M.
