Provenance & quality

The survey was undertaken by a survey company commissioned by Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML). The company obtained data through door-to-door surveys, inputting responses straight into custom-designed survey templates on a hand-held tablet platform. Data were subsequently collated in a password-protected excel spreadsheet and forwarded to the PML research team liaison point.
