Inventory of Irish Coastal Lagoons 2007 Sampling Stations (WFS) (NPWS)

This WFS (Web Feature Service) displays results from the National Survey of Native Woodlands (NSNW) 2003-2008. This survey looked at 1,217 woodland sites across all 26 counties of the Republic of Ireland during 2003-2007.  Aims of the survey:  To establish the area and character of native woodlands in Ireland.  To produce a national inventory of native woodland sites comprising a subjective sample representing the full range of woodland diversity in Ireland.   To produce a national classification system for native woodlands based objectively on data recorded in the field, to compare this system with existing schemes and make recommendations for improvement.  To evaluate the conservation value and threat status of all surveyed sites and highlight undesignated sites which may be worthy of protected status.  To examine the structure, regeneration status and timber resource of native woodlands in Ireland.  To produce monitoring guidelines for the ongoing assessment of Annex I woodland habitats. Annex I Priority habitats, which are in danger of disappearing within the EU territory, are indicated with an asterisk.   List of Layers associated with National Survey of Native Woodlands 2008: - National Survey of Native Woodlands 2008 Habitat Polygons (NPWS) - National Survey of Native Woodlands 2008 Relevé Locations (NPWS)

All lakes, within the EPA river network, accessible to salmon and likely to sea trout. The purpose was to inform the further development of salmon stock recruitment models to provide high quality scientific advice to inform the sustainable management of salmon fisheries in Ireland.   McGinnity, P.,Gargan, P.,Roche, W., Mills, P. & McGarrigle, M. 2003.

Ireland’s marine waters host a rich and diverse range of species and habitats, including important fish spawning and nursery areas. Ecosystems provide a series of services for human well-being (ecosystem services) either directly (as food and fibre) or indirectly by providing clean air and water. Biodiversity plays a key role in the functioning of ecosystems and their ability to provide ecosystem services. The value of biodiversity and benefits from ecosystem services reach far beyond that which can be measured in financial terms. Evidence from monitoring of natural habitats and species in Ireland’s marine environment indicates that many habitats are not in good condition. Protecting and improving the condition of marine habitats and ecosystems is a challenge for all users of the sea.
