Beetle records from Sussex shared by various recorders, most notably Peter Hodge - the Sussex County Recorder for Beetles - who has contributed over 65,000 records to this dataset and invested huge amounts of time in verifying the Sussex beetle records. Grant funding from Natural England enabled SxBRC to conduct a large-scale consultation with Sussex beetle recorders and secure the necessary permissions to publish beetle recorders' records at full resolution under a CC-BY licence. This dataset does not include ALL Sussex beetle records held by SxBRC, only those records were we have appropriate permission to share the records under a CC-BY licence, in accordance with the NBN guidance for adding historic data to the NBN Atlas. If you have recorded beetles in Sussex and would like your records to appear in this dataset, please contact SxBRC.
