ACHOIMRE FHEIDHMEACH RÉAMHRÁ Is é seo an Plean um Bainistiú Priacal Tuile (an ‘Plean’) d’Abhantrach Cuan Sláine & Loch Garman. Tá cur síos ar an Abhantrach i Rannán 2 den Phlean. Is cuspóir don Phlean straitéis, ar a n-áirítear sraith céimeanna molta, um bainistiú costéifeachtach inbhuanaithe fadtéarnmach an phriacail tuile ins an Abhantrach a leagan amach, ar a n-áirítear limistéir inar cinneadh go bhfuil an priacal tuile dóchúil suntasach. Tá an Plean seo, don tréimhse 2018-2021, ar cheann de 29 bPlean atá dá bhfoilsiú; leagann gach ceann acu amach an réimse indéanta de chéimeanna um bainistiú priacal tuile atá molta dá nAbhantracha ar leith. Céim shuntasach chun tosaigh is ea ullmhú na bPleananna seo maidir le feidhmiú pholasaí an Rialtais um bainistiú priacal tuile, mar atá leagtha amach i dTuarascáil an Ghrúpa um Athbhreithniú ar Pholasaí Tuile (OPW, 20041), agus freagraíonn sé oibleagáidí na hÉireann faoi Threoir ‘Tuilte’ an AE 2007 (EU, 20072). Cuimsíonn an Plean céimeanna indéanta a tugadh chun cinn trí réimse clár agus tionscnamh polasaí ar a n-áirítear: Céimeanna neamhstruchtúrtha um chosc agus ullmhacht priacal tuile atá infheidhme ar bhonn náisiúnta, dírithe ar thionchair thuilte a laghdú, a tugadh agus atá á dtabhairt chun cinn chun polasaí Rialtais um bainistiú priacal tuile a fheidhmiú (OPW, 2004). Céimeanna struchtúrtha um chosaint tuile atá molta do phobail atá ar phriacal suntasach tuile, dírithe ar dhóchúlacht agus/nó céim thuilte a laghdú, a léiríodh tríd an Chlár Náisiúnta um Measúnú agus Bainistiú Priacal Tuile Abhantraí (MBPTA). Scrúdaigh an Clár MBPTA an priacal tuile, agus céimeanna féideartha um an priacal a fhreagairt, in 300 pobal ar fud na tíre atá ar phriacal dóchúil suntasach tuile. Léiríodh na pobail seo ins an Réamh-Mheasúnú um Priacal Tuile (RPT); measúnú náisiúnta scagtha a bhí anseo. I dTábla ES-1 thíos tugtar liosta na bpobal atá léirithe tríd an phróiseas RPT mar phobail atá faoi phriacal dóchúil suntasach tuile in Abhantrach Cuan Sláine & Loch Garman chomh maith leis na foinsí tuile a cinneadh a bheith suntasach maidir le gach pobal. Tugadh chun cinn agus foilsíodh sraith mapaí tuile le haghaidh gach pobal díobh, ag léiriú na limisteir atá ar phriacal tuile. Tógann an Plean ar an chlár náisiúnta oibreacha cosanta tuile a críochnaíodh roimhe seo, orthu san atá faoi dhearadh agus faoi thógáil um an dtaca seo nó atá leagtha amach trí thionscadail nó pleananna eile, agus ar chothabháil leanúnach ar scéimeanna dhraenála agus faoiseamh tuile. Rinneadh Measúnú Straitéiseach Comhshaoil, agus Measúnú Cuí faoin Treoir um Ghnáthóga mar ba chuí, mar chuid den ullmhú, agus tá siad folisithe i dteannta leis an Phlean. 1 Tuarascáil an Ghrúpa um Athbhreithniú ar Pholasaí Tuile, OPW, 2004 (www.floodinfo.ie) 2 Treoir faoi mheasúnú agus bainistiú priacal tuile, 2007/60/EC i FRMP – River Basin (12) Slaney & Wexford Harbour Táble ES-1 Pobail atá ar Phriacal Dóchúil Suntasach Tuile taobh istigh d’Abhantrach Cuan Sláine & Loch Garman CONTAE AINM an PHOBAIL FOINSÍ PRIACAL TUILE Cill Mhantáin Bealach Conglais Abhann Loch Garman Bun Clóidí Abhann Loch Garman Inis Córthaidh Abhann Ceatharlach An Tulach Abhann Loch Garman Baile Loch Garman Abhann & Cósta Loch Garman An Slab Theas Cósta Loch Garman An Slab Thuaidh Cósta CUSPÓIRÍ AN PHLEAN Is é cuspóir foriomlán an Phlean ná tionchair tuilte a bhainistiú agus a laghdú, agus aird ar shochair agus éifeachtaí eile, ar fud réimse leathan earnála, ar a n-áirítear sláinte daoine, an comhshaol, an oidhreacht chultúrtha agus gníomhaíocht eacnamaíoch, trí scéimeanna inmharthana cosanta tuile agus céimeanna eile, bunaithe ar thuiscint chruinn ar phriacal tuile mar atá léirithe in ullmhú mapaí tuile. Maidir le gach ceann ar leith de na hearnála seo tugadh chun cinn sraith cuspóirí a bhí comhsheasmhach ar bhonn náisiúnta. Tugtar liosta de na cuspóirí ar leith seo agus an tábhacht a bhaineann le gach ceann díobh i Rannán 1.4 den Phlean. RAON AN PHLEAN Leagtar amach raon an Phlean thíos: Raon Spásúil: Leagann an Plean amach céimeanna inmharthana, scéimeanna cosanta tuile go hiondúil, atá molta chun priacal tuile a bhainistiú agus a laghdú ins na pobail sin a léiriodh tríd an RPT a bheith faoi phriacal dóchúil suntasach tuile. Leagtar amach freisin réimse polasaí agus céimeanna neamhstruchtúrtha, atá in áit nó faoi fhorbairt, a thacaíonn le laghdú agus bainistiú priacal tuile ar fud na hAbhantraí. Foinsí Priacal Tuile: Freagraíonn na céimeanna cosanta tuile atá leagtha amach sa Phlean priacal tuile ó na foinsí tuile mar a léiríodh i dTábla ES-1 i bpobal amháin nó níos mó, mar cinneadh tríd an RPT go raibh na foinsí seo dóchúil suntasach ins na pobail seo. Féadfaidh an réimse polasaí agus céimeanna neamhstruchtúrtha tacú le laghdú agus le bainistiú priacal tuile ó fhoinsí uile priacal tuile. Leibhéal Sonraí: Leagtar amach sa Phlean na céimeanna atá léirithe mar na céimeanna is cuí ag an phointe seo measúnaithe. Is dearadh imlíneach iad na céimeanna cosanta tuile a leagtar amach sa Phlean; níl siad réidh um thógáil ag an am seo. Beidh gá le dearadh breise mionsonraithe, ar a n-áirítear athbhreithniú ar chostais agus tairbhí, measúnú comhshaoil agus comhairliúchán roimh a bhfeidhmiú. COMHAIRLIÚCHÁN AGUS PLÉ LE POBAL AGUS LE PÁIRTITHE LEASMHARA Rinneadh comhairliúchán poiblí ar scála leathan le linn do na mapaí tuile agus na Pleananna a bheith dá n-ullmhú. Cuireadh suíomhanna gréasáin don Chlár MBPTA agus do na Tionscadail ar fáil chun eolas faoin phróiseas iomlán agus faoi na tionscadail bhainteacha a ii FRMP – River Basin (12) Slaney & Wexford Harbour sholáthar agus chun torthaí na dtionscadal a fhoilsiú (tá an t-eolas a bhí ar fáil ar na suíomhanna gréasáin sin ar fáil anois ag www.floodinfo.ie). Thionól an OPW breis agus 200 Lá Comhairliúcháin Phoiblí maidir leis na mapaí tuile ins na pobail bhainteacha; bhí deis ag daoine tuilte staitiúla agus cruinneas na mapaí a phlé leis na hinnealtóirí ón OPW agus a gcuid comhairleoirí. Tharla comhairliúchán reachtúil phoiblí faoi na mapaí tuile go déanach sa bhliain 2015. In ullmhú na mapaí críochnaithe tugadh aird ar na tráchtais, tuairimí agus agóidí ó na Laethanta Comhairliúcháin Phoiblí agus ón chomhairliúchán foirmiúil chun eolas áitiúil ar thuilte agus tuairimí an phobail a chuimsiú ins na mapaí. Tionóladh dhá bhabhta de Laethanta breise Comhairliúcháin Phoiblí ins na pobail maidir leis na roghanna dóchúla agus ansin maidir leis na Dréacht-Phleananna um bainistiú an phriacail tuile. Tionóladh comhairliúchán reachtúil phoiblí eile maidir leis na Dréacht-Phleananna. Breathnaíodh an réimse leathan tuairimí agus aighneachtaí a tháning trí na comhairliúcháin seo agus tugadh san áireamh iad de réir mar ba chuí nuair a bhí na Pleananna dá gcríochnú. Tiomsaíodh Grúpaí Náisiúnta agus Réigiúnacha Páirtithe Leasmhara chun deis a thabhairt do pháirtithe leasmhara páirt a ghlacadh in ullmhú na mapaí tuile agus na bPleananna. Bhí cruinnithe comhordaithe leis na húdaráis atá freagrach as an Creat-Treoir Uisce a fheidhmiú agus, maidir le habhantracha a roinntear i bpáirt le Tuaisceart Éireann, leis na húdaráis chuí ansin. Tá cur síos ar na gníomhaíochtaí maidir le comhairliúchán leis an bpobal agus le páirtithe leasmhara i Rannán 4 den Phlean. MEASÚNÚ TEICNIÚIL In ullmhú an Phlean bhí anailís agus measúnú forleathan teicniúil chun an priacal tuile a léiríodh tríd an PBT a chinneadh agus ansin chun céimeanna roghnaithe inmharthana um fhreagairt an phriacail a léiriú. Ar an measúnú teicniúil seo bhí: Suirbhé ón Aer: Suirbhé ón aer ar thopagrafaíocht na dtuilemhánna, chun anailís a dhéanamh ar chonas a scaipeann uiscí tuile trasna na dtuilemhánna.

  • 4.6 Lady's Island Lake, County Wexford O.S. T 099
    Lady’s Island Lake IL 006 4.6 Lady’s Island Lake, County Wexford O.S. T 099 065 O.S. Discovery Sheet 77 Conservation Designation: Lady's Island Lake SAC 000704, SPA 004010, pNHA 000704 General description: A large (350ha) natural sedimentary percolating lagoon, separated from the sea by a sand and gravel barrier and dunes. Substrate grades from soft sandy mud in the north to coarse sandy gravel near the barrier and there are rocks in the southeast. Surrounding land is flat with arable and pasture fields and rough land with rocks. Freshwater enters by a few small streams and leaves by percolation through the barrier. The water level rises in winter flooding farmland and a pilgrimage path and the barrier is usually breached in spring. The lake then becomes tidal until natural closure in 2 weeks - 6 months. Seawater also enters by seepage and overwash of the breach bar. Salinity fluctuates widely according to season and the extent of tidal flow. In October 1996, 4-15‰ was measured at the north end, 23-26‰ near the barrier and 6-10‰ in an isolated pool. Figure 6.1 Location of map of Lady’s Island Lake 43 Lady’s Island Lake IL 006 Lady’s Island Lake was surveyed in 1996 for vegetation (Hatch 1996, Hatch & Healy 1998), aquatic fauna (Healy & Oliver 1996, Oliver & Healy 1998) and ecotonal coleoptera (Good 1996, Good & Butler 1998). Vegetation was surveyed again in 2003 (Roden 2004). Results of these surveys are summarised by Healy et al. (1997a,b,c), Healy & Oliver (1998) and Healy (1999, 2003).

  • Wetlands of Internationaland National Importance in the REPUBLIC of IRELAND
    REPORT on Wetlands of Internationaland National Importance in the REPUBLIC of IRELAND 0 November 1974 I INTRODUCTION Authors of earlier lists of important wetlands in Ireland e.g. Cabot and Ruttledge (1966) and 0 Gorman (1971), had torely largely on their own subjective assessment of the relevant merits of different areas. However, in preparing the report for 1974, it has been possible to operate not onlyon objective criteria laid down by the IWRB and IUCN but alsoon the results of an extensive survey undertaken over the past two yearsas a co-operative effort by the Forest and Wildlife Service of the the Dept. of Lands and the Irish Wildbird Conservancy -of wildfowl and wader numbers in Irish wetlands. For purposes of the attached report for 1974, wildfowl datahave been extracted from an unpublished report by the Irish Wildbird Conservancy; information on plant ecology has been compiled from a field survey carried out by the Forest and WildlifeService (Research Branch) and also from data supplied by An ForasForbartha (The National Institute for Physical Planning and Construction) and from material extracted from various other sources. This report is in two parts. Part 1 relates to wetlands which are regarded as of International importance; Part II lists those which are considered to be of national significance.

Water bodies in the study area were identified using OS mapping. Information on important aquatic ecological features, water quality and protected aquatic species was collated by desktop review including examination of websites (SERBD, EPA, NPWS, IFI). Field surveys including biological sampling, river corridor assessments and searches for protected species were carried out on representative watercourses. All watercourses down to 1st order streams indicated on 1:50,000 scale OSI maps were assessed and rated using NRA guidelines in terms of fisheries value and ecological value and also using the EPA’s Envision mapping tool to identify rivers, lakes, catchment boundaries, and water quality.

Discovery Sheet 77 Conservation Designation: pNHA 000712 Wexford Slobs and Harbour General description: Formerly an area of mud flat and salt marsh, reclaimed in the mid 1800s by construction of a sea wall. A broad, semicircular channel runs through polder grasslands and crops, covering a total area of approximately 5ha. The area is below high tide level and there is extensive landward seepage of seawater with seepage streams. Mixed seawater and freshwater from streams and drainage ditches is pumped out and the water level is more or less constant. A salinity gradient from about 4‰ in the west to between 20 and 30‰ in the Raven (Curracloe). Channel exists throughout the year. Figure 4.1 Location map of North Slob channel 31 IL 004 North Slob The North Slob channel was surveyed in 2002/2003 as part of a PhD study (Oliver 2005) and used in a biological classification of Irish coastal lagoons. Six stations were selected for the sampling of aquatic fauna and flora (Figure 4.2, Table 4.1). In addition, as part of this survey, the vegetation was surveyed by C.

This updated MOU allows for the continuation of IFSEA to receive the benefits of the 20-plus year relationship with FSI and GFI. As many of our board members and members remember the great work of the late Dr. Joan Johnson at the State University of New York (SUNY) in Morrisville, NY her legacy continues with this updated relationship with FSI, GFI and IFSEA. To recap this relationship, FSI remains the “selling and promotions arm of the certifications”.
