Ecological Assessments in Wexford
Wexford is one of Ireland's most important counties for birds. The Wexford Slobs are internationally renowned for wintering Greenland White-fronted Geese. The county's extensive coastline supports diverse dune, lagoon, and estuarine habitats. The Slaney river system is one of Ireland's premier salmon rivers. Lady's Island and Tacumshin Lakes are coastal lagoons of European importance.
Natura 2000 Sites in Wexford
Key Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) in Wexford include Slaney River Valley SAC, Raven Point Nature Reserve SAC, Saltee Islands SAC, Tacumshin Lake SAC, and Screen Hills SAC.
Special Protection Areas (SPAs) include Wexford Harbour and Slobs SPA, The Raven SPA, Lady's Island Lake SPA, Tacumshin Lake SPA, Saltee Islands SPA, and Bannow Bay SPA.
Protected Species
Wexford Slobs support the majority of the world's Greenland White-fronted Goose population. The Saltee Islands are Ireland's largest gannet colony. Lady's Island Lake hosts important tern colonies. The Slaney supports Salmon, Lamprey, and Otter. Badger populations are widespread.
Services in Wexford
AA Screening is required for most developments given the extensive network of coastal SPAs and the Slaney SAC. NIS is commonly needed for developments near coastal lagoons and estuaries. Bird surveys may be required for sites near SPAs.
