Every six years, all EU Member States are required (under Article 17 of the Directive) to report on the implementation of the EU Habitats Directive. The 3rd UK Habitats Directive Report was submitted to the European Commission in 2013. The 3rd UK Habitats Directive Report considered the conservation status of all terrestrial and marine species listed under Annexes II, IV and V of the Directive that were present within the UK during the reporting period. This included: *83 terrestrial species within the UK Atlantic region; *42 marine species within the UK Marine Atlantic region; *4 terrestrial species within the Gibraltar Mediterranean region; *18 marine species within the Gibraltar Marine Mediterranean region This dataset presents the supporting notes for the UK species reports *often known as an audit trail for each habitat. This helps to explain how the data in the species reports were derived and any caveats that are required. This audit trail includes a range of parameters for each species as described in the UK Approach Document. http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/pdf/A17_2013_UKApproach.pdf there is a separate row of data for each combination of species and attribute/parameter. These notes were deemed necessary to collate because the EC reporting format did not allow for the submission of substantial details as regards the underlying information sources and reasoning used in the production of the UK reports.

In summary the 2013 Species reports were based on a structure outlined in a set of guidelines produced by the European Commission.
