The wildlife records submitted to NatureSpot are collected through a national recording system called Indicia. The record data is held on a secure server at the Biological Records Centre based at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. Every submitted record is carefully checked as part of a strict verification process and for difficult or unusual species involves local and national experts. All verified records are submitted to the LRERC, local and national recording schemes and the National Biodiversity Network (NBN). Only the name of those submitting records is released with the datasets, other personal information is retained as confidential information by NatureSpot.
