  • Coastal Monitoring Project 2004-2006
    COASTAL MONITORING PROJECT 2004-2006 By Tim Ryle, Anne Murray, Kieran Connolly & Melinda Swann A Report to the National Parks and Wildlife Service, Dublin. 2009 Coastal Monitoring Project Coastal Monitoring Project EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Irish coastline, including the islands, extends to 6,000 kilometres, of which approximately 750 kilometres is sandy. The sand dune resource is under threat from a number of impacts – primarily natural erosion, changes in agricultural practices and development of land for housing, tourism and recreational purposes. This project, carried out on behalf of the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), is designed to meet Ireland’s obligation under Article 17 of the EU Habitats Directive, in relation to reporting on the conservation status of Annex I sand dune habitats in Ireland. The following habitats were assessed: 1210 – Annual vegetation of driftlines 1220 – Perennial vegetation of stony banks 2110 – Embryonic shifting dunes 2120 – Shifting dunes along the shoreline with Ammophila arenaria 2130 – Fixed coastal dunes with herbaceous vegetation (grey dunes) 2140 – Decalcified fixed dunes with Empetrum nigrum 2150 – Atlantic decalcified fixed dunes (Calluno-Ulicetea) 2170 – Dunes with Salix repens ssp. argentea (Salicion arenariea) 2190 – Humid dune slacks 21A0 – Machairs The project is notable in that it represents the first comprehensive assessments of sand dune systems and their habitats in Ireland. Over the course of the three field seasons (2004-2006), all known sites for sand dunes in Ireland were assessed (only 4 sites were not visited owing to access problems). The original inventory of sand dune systems by Curtis (1991a) listed 168 sites for the Republic of Ireland.

    Killybegs Harbour Centre & South West Donegal, Ireland Area Information Killybegs is situated on the North West Coast of Ireland with the newest harbour facility in the country which opened in 2004. The area around the deep fjord-like inlet of Killybegs has been inhabited since prehistoric times. The town was named in early Christian times, the Gaelic name Na Cealla Beaga referring to a group of monastic cells. Interestingly, and perhaps surprisingly in a region not short of native saints, the town’s patron saint is St. Catherine of Alexandria. St. Catherine is the patron of seafarers and the association with Killybegs is thought to be from the 15th Century which confirms that Killybeg’s tradition of seafaring is very old indeed. The area is rich in cultural & historical history having a long association with marine history dating back to the Spanish Armada. Donegal is renowned for the friendliness & hospitality of its people and that renowned ‘Donegal Welcome’ awaits cruise passengers & crew to the area from where a pleasant travel distance through amazing sea & mountain scenery of traditional picturesque villages with thatched cottages takes you to visit spectacular castles and national parks. Enjoy the slow pace of life for a day while having all the modern facilities of city life.
