Compilation of spatial data on marine recreation activities: Phase 2 Mapping marine recreation guidance: How to supply spatial data.

Abstract

This zip file contains a Marine Management Organisation (MMO) data guideline in two formats: a pdf file and an xls spreadsheet. The files contain identical information, but both formats are provided to meet different users’ needs. This guidance was developed in conjunction with the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN). MEDIN data guidelines have traditionally been developed to address data storage and management of scientific information about the marine environment, typically survey data. Whilst MEDIN has recently adapted to address socio-economic data, this requires a slightly different approach to formal MEDIN data guidelines. Providing the information requested in the accompanying spreadsheet will ensure your data contains all the relevant information to make it reusable in the future. Such data is considered to comply with MEDIN data guidelines.
