The <strong>County</strong> <strong>Clare</strong> Wetlands Survey Patrick Crushell & Peter Foss 2008<br />
____________________________________________________________________________________<br />
Table 7.2. The number of discrete sites of each Fossitt wetland level recorded in <strong>County</strong> <strong>Clare</strong><br />
as part of the <strong>County</strong> <strong>Clare</strong> Wetlands Survey 2008.<br />
Individual sites under 0.025 ha in extent were omitted as their occurrence is usually due to GIS mapping irregularities<br />
(i.e. inclusion of slivers). Fossitt habitat levels shown: Level 1 - bold italics; Level 2 - bold and Level 3 – plain text.<br />
