SPU C02-2016 - Coastal Lagoon Monitoring Programme

Coastal Lagoons are identified in Annex I of the Habitats Directive as a “Priority Habitat” and therefore in need of special protection. Within Ireland there are twenty five Special Areas of Conservation which have Coastal Lagoons (1150) as a qualifying interest. Under Article 11 of the Habitats Directive, surveillance of the conservation status of Annex I habitats is required and under Article 17 each member state is obliged to report on this status to the European Commission every six years. Under the Water Framework Directive lagoons are included as coastal and transitional waters and they must be assessed to provide ecological status. See RFT for further details.
