REM Team data decision tree

The Marine Directorate REM team created a data decision tree (Figure A.2) to demonstrate the data flow of linking the REM and landings data and the possible data analysis resulting from this.

The colours in the figure indicate the types of actions undertaken; Orange = raw data, Blue = Science checks and actions, Green = Data decision/result following checks, Grey = actions taken outside of the Marine Directorate when data are flagged to and followed up by other teams such as Compliance and MAU, Yellow = Data analysis. The grey area hashed out on the right of the Figure shows the steps that could be taken with that data but currently are not.
