Register of Protected Areas - SAC Conservation Objective Habitat River Waterbodies
This dataset identifies Water Framework Directive river water bodies that intersect with Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) designated for specific Conservation Objective Habitats under the EU Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992), read together with the Birds Directive. It forms part of Ireland's Register of Protected Areas, linking river water body boundaries to protected habitat designations, supporting environmental assessment, conservation planning, and reporting obligations related to designated conservation sites within the national river network.WFD River Water Bodies intersecting with Designated Special Areas of Conservation Conservation Objective Habitats under the EU Habitats Directive (together with the Birds Directive) - Council Directive 92/43/EE of 21st May 1992.
