Data provider: Steve Lane

I have over 30 year's experience of insect field survey and identification. As a professional ecologist, I have carried out numerous invertebrate surveys and produced reports that interpret the ecological value of proposed developments, offering advice and recommendations for mitigation and habitat creation. In 2015, I wrote an identification key to the British species in the genus of leaf beetles Longitarsus, for inclusion in Volume 4 of Beetles of Britain and Ireland (BBI) by Andrew Duff. Also between 2014 and 2017 I have produced two IUCN Reviews for Natural England and I am currently (2018) engaged on a third. These publications are an important assessment of the current status of British species, highlighting and summarising the distribution, ecological requirements, threats and management and conservation issues of those in particular that are threatened by extinction. I have written or co-authored over 70 natural history publications between 1986 and the present date. These have included species distribution atlases for the county of Warwickshire, notes in national entomological journals and magazines and scientific research papers in local journals and annual reports. I developed skills in insect identification before and during my 15-year tenure as Keeper of Natural History at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, Coventry, where I managed a collection of 200,000 Natural History specimens including a collection of over 120,000 British insects. The work included the re-organisation of collections, critical species identification, cataloguing, collections research, documenting and disseminating data. More recently, I was contracted to work on the Leicestershire Museums insect collections, work which included checking the identification of around 60,000 individual beetle specimens and producing three publications for National journals detailing my work. I am currently (2018) engaged in a project in which I am identifying some 50,000 specimens (Coleoptera and Hemiptera) collected from pitfall trap samples in the Breckland area of Norfolk.

Data provider: Stichtig Duik de Noordzee Schoon

Stichting Duik de Noordzee Schoon (Foundation for Diving the North Sea Clean) is started by experienced wreck divers to remove fishing nets and other fishing gear from wrecks to prevent ghost fishing. It is an ambitious and enthusiastic group of people consisting of recreational divers, biologists, photographers and archaeologists that together arrange one or more expeditions per year to clean our beautiful North Sea (Dutch: https://www.duikdenoordzeeschoon.nl/over-ons/wat-is-duik-de-noordzee-schoon-1023/).

Data provider: Suffolk Biodiversity Information Service

The Suffolk Biodiversity Information Service is the One-Stop-Shop for biological information in Suffolk. We collate, manage and mobilise species and site information for the benefit of Suffolk’s wildlife. Suffolk has many expert and amateur naturalists who share an ever-expanding database of species records for conservation, research and education. We operate the standard suite of record centre functions including storing and management of site and species records, mapping habitats and data searches. We maintain the dataset of non-statutory wildlife sites (CWS). The Service is hosted by Suffolk County Council and based in Ipswich Museum, where natural history has a long heritage. The service incorporates the work formerly undertaken by Suffolk Biodiversity Partnership.

Data provider: Sussex Dolphin Project

Sussex Dolphin Project is committed to protecting local dolphin species through research, awareness and education programmes to deliver ecosystem-level restoration and rejuvenation. Our research is evidence-based and captured via our citizen science programme through both opportunistic, and effort based data collection, with a view to identifying individual dolphins/pods, and to better understand their behaviour, movement, prey species and breeding sites. This data is then used in collaboration with other organisations to better protect our marine environment and ultimately safeguard Sussex marine mammals.
