The surveys of the nine bogs, which occur within five Specials Areas of Conservation (SACs) and two Natural Heritage Areas (NHAs) were conducted from March to May 2024. Only high bog habitats were surveyed. The data collected will feed into the National Parks and Wildlife Service’s Multi-Annual Raised Bog Monitoring Programme (2021-24) under which a comparison with previous surveys of these sites will be carried out and a Conservation Condition Assessment of ARB at each site undertaken. The data will also be used to inform Article 17 reporting for raised bog habitats for the 2025 reporting cycle. The purpose of the survey, commissioned by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) was to fulfill the following: To undertake ecotope surveys of nine raised bogs and collect data which would feed into the report on the conservation status of the following Habitats Directive Annex I habitats within these bogs: Active raised bogs (ARB) (7110); Bog woodland (91D0); Degraded raised bogs still capable of natural regeneration (DRB) (7120) and Depressions on peat substrates of the Rhynchosporion (7150). The surveys collected data which will feed into the National Parks and Wildlife Service’s Multi-Annual Raised Bog Monitoring Programme (2021-24) under which a comparison with previous surveys of these sites will be carried out and a Conservation Condition Assessment of ARB at each site undertaken. The data will also be used to inform Article 17 reporting for raised bog habitats for the 2025 reporting cycle. Any changes in habitat extent, quality or intensity of pressures from previous surveys will be assessed.

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 10+ Esri geodatabase gdb Microsoft Excel xlsx National Parks and Wildlife Service Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage Biodiversity Data Manager +353-1-8882000 n/a National Parks and Wildlife Service 90 North King Street Dublin 7 D07 N7CV Ireland NPWS_data@npws.gov.ie.ie https://www.npws.ie/sites/default/files/general/EMRB24_ecotope_mapping_of_selected_raised_bogs_in_Midlands.zip zip Dataset Ecotope mapping within a sub-set of designated raised bogs - 2024 - dataset published on NPWS website INSPIRE Data Specification on Provide Spatial Data Theme keyword INSPIRE Data Specifications v3.0 2011-06-15 The INSPIRE Directive or INSPIRE lays down a general framework for a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) for the purposes of European Community environmental policies and policies or activities which may have an impact on the environment. true COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services INSPIRE Interoperability Regulation 2010-12-08 Level of conformance with the COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services true Ecotope mapping and condition assessment survey carried out within a sub-set of designated raised bogs (9 sites) located in 5 SACs and 2 HNHs covering 4 Habitats Directive Annex I habitats.
