National Parks and Wildlife: Coastal Monitoring Project 2004-2006
This national survey of Irish sand dunes was carried out on behalf of the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS). The project represents the first comprehensive survey and assessment of sand dune systems and their habitats in Ireland. Over the course of three field seasons (2004-2006), almost 180 coastal sites were surveyed in detail. A habitat map was produced for each site and the conservation status of each habitat present was assessed. The total remaining dune resource is now estimated to cover approximately 10,850ha. The data were summarised to give a national overview of each habitat.
