The County Clare Wetlands Survey Patrick Crushell & Peter Foss 2008 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Table 7.4: The number of discrete wetland sites (and sites and sub-sites) recorded in the CWS Site database with their conservation designation and protection. Conservation Designation Protected Status Number of discrete sites in the CWS database with this conservation designation Number of sites and subsites in CWS database with this conservation designation Total area of designated sites (ha) (inclusive of non-wetland habitats) from CWS GIS NP - National Park Protected 1 8 1,380 NHA - Natural Heritage Area Protected 13 * 15 3,046 pNHA - proposed Natural Heritage Area Partially Protected 39 na 46,500 cNHA – candidate Natural Heritage Area Not Protected 88 na Unknown SAC - Special Area of Conservation Protected 30 * 99 85,300 cSAC - candidate Special Area of Conservation Protected 0 na 0 SPA - Special Protection Area Protected 8 * 23 54,300 NNR - National Nature Reserve Protected 3 6 536 ASI - Area of Scientific Interest Not protected 41 na Unknown Other (e.g. Wildfowl Sanctuary; Refuge for Flora and Fauna; Wildfowl Sanctuary) Limited Protected 5 na Unknown Undesignated sites Not protected 85 na 3,765** * Data on the current number of sites designated as NHA, SAC and SPA is confirmed by information on the NPWS website dated 30 October 2008. ** Based mainly on provisional site boundaries drawn during CWS 2008. Although these data indicate a positive outlook for the protection of wetlands within conserved areas in the county, one of the key findings to emerge from the conservation evaluation in the CWS site database is that 152 site records (of the 300 sites recorded or 50% of sites) have no protection although their conservation value has been recognised and proposed by third parties who provided data to the current project. 63
