The County Clare Wetlands Survey Patrick Crushell & Peter Foss 2008 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Appendix 3: Data import methodology for the CWS GIS & Site Database A variety of data sources were used in the compilation of the list of sites included within the County Clare Wetlands Survey site database. The sources that were used are listed in Appendix 1. In the case of one off sites provided by individuals or groups, data was entered directly from the information provided to the CWS database. The following import methodologies were applied to the import of site information from more extensive electronic data set sources. 1 CWS Site Database 1.1 Natural Heritage Area & Special Area of Conservation NPWS Site Data and Fossitt habitat types An electronic list of the sites provided by NPWS containing all recognised NHA, cNHA, SAC, cSAC and SPA sites was supplied by Dr. Neil Lockhart of NPWS in July 2008. The site list included the Fossitt habitat types present on the majority of the sites, together with site designation information. Allowing for sites with multiple records (i.e. one site with two different designations is recorded twice) created by the NHA and/or SAC designation process a total of 225 unique site records were created from this data set and information on these sites was imported. The data for the sites provided was imported from a series of Excel spreadsheets. Imported data included: Site code number; Site name; Site designation; Fossitt habitats present on sites; National Grid reference E & N. 1.2 NPWS Fen Study Database An electronic list of the sites listed by NPWS with fen habitat types recorded was approved for use on the CWS project by Dr. Neil Lockhart of NPWS in July 2008. Allowing for sites with multiple records created by the occurrence of sub sites within larger conservation worthy sites a total of 48 unique site records were located in Co. Clare. Data on these sites was imported into the existing site records held within the CWS database. The data for the sites provided was imported from a series of Excel spreadsheets created from within the NPWS National Fen Survey Database. Imported data included: Fen types present on sites; Scientific interest on sites (Botanical; Zoological etc.); Previous reports and survey holding site information; Additional Site designation; Grid reference data where this data was missing on sites; Fossitt habitats present on sites. 1.3 Foras Forbartha ASI Site Lists for County Clare Site data from both the AFF Preliminary ASI County Report (1972) and the final report on Areas of Scientific Interest in Ireland (1981) were abstracted for sites listed within the CWS database. The data for these sites was imported manually from the published reports. Two additional site records were added to the CWS database from these reports. Imported data included: Scientific interest on sites (Botanical; Zoological etc.); Previous reports and survey holding site information; Grid reference data where this data was missing on sites; a provisional list of Fossitt habitats present on sites were added to database on any sites lacking Fossitt data. 82
