Over the course of the three field seasons (2004-2006), all known sites for sand dunes in Ireland were assessed. The project involved the updating of an existing inventory of sand dune systems (Curtis, 1991a), the production of habitat maps of all survey sites, the establishment of a coastal habitats database and an assessment of the conservation status of all dune habitats in Ireland, both nationally and on a site-by-site basis. Furthermore a methodology employing rapid and simple assessment techniques for monitoring sand dune habitats was developed hyperlinked to the records. This data resource contains: - a Polygon shapefile with habitat and other information (see lineage) on sites surveyed as part of the Coastal Monitoring Project 2004 - 2006. Survey areas with Annex 1 habitat types (EU habitats Directive), as well as non - Annex 1 areas (classified using a key developed for the purpose of the project) are contained within the file. - A MS Access database storing information gathered during field surveys for the Coastal Monitoring Project 2004 - 2006 and the Saltmarsh Monitoring Project 2006-2009. The data recorded on the field cards for each site were inputted into this database. The original database was reformatted in 2011 to reflect the newer 'Monitoring Data Model' in use within NPWS scientific section, as well as changes to the EU reporting systems. - Project 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. - Providing a clearer understanding of the habitat area, processes and impacts and the conservation status of the sand dune habitats in Ireland.

A spot height may be expressed as AOD for "above ordnance datum". Usually mean sea level (MSL) is used for the datum. Malin Ordnance Datum Derivation of vertical height or depth (in metres) In the Republic of Ireland, OD for the Ordnance Survey of Ireland is Malin Ordnance Datum: the Mean Sea Level (MSL) at Portmoor Pier, Malin Head, County Donegal, between 1960 and 1969. 5731 EPSG Projection 5731 - Malin Head height Metres Derivation of Altitude OD based on Mean Sea Level, Malin Head 1960-1969 ESRI Shapefile .

Habitat types are assigned to surveyed areas, using both EU Habitats Directive Annex 1 codes, as well as habitat codes established for the purpose of the project. Information on site names, areas and other (see fields listed below) is given. ESRI ArcView 3.2 was used in the creation of the original file. Aerial photographs of the sites from the most recent complete, or near complete, set (the 2000 Ortho-photo set) were printed and used in the field as an aid to mapping. A GeoExplorer handheld GPS unit (Trimble GeoXT) was used for recording the locations of boundary lines and areas. Additional observations recorded on the printed aerial photographs and in target notes were used in the creation of this file. Field notes relating to various aspects of, among others, topography and vegetation composition were written at all sites. The file was subsequently checked for topology and consistency within NPWS. During this process a number of amendments, including the addition of site codes and removing overlaps, gaps, slivers and multipart polygons, as well as running the repair geometry tool using ArcGIS9.3, were implemented. For this purpose, the paper copies of site maps submitted as part of the project were used for clarification in certain areas. Although the present file is cleaned of topology errors, it must be noted that due to preceding processing steps (separate incongruent files have apparently been merged / clipped in the creation of the file submitted to NPWS) this file is not free from errors, especially when examined on a large scale.
