Distribution of Breeding Seabirds in Ireland 2013-2018

This distribution represents where the species or habitat have been recorded or estimated as occurring. These datasets consist of 10km grid cells, they are indicative and to be used for reference only, please see the Article 12 report: 'The Status of Ireland's Breeding Seabirds: Birds Directive Article 12 Reporting 2013 -2018, Irish Wildlife Manual 114' for full details. https://www.npws.ie/sites/default/files/publications/pdf/IWM114.pdf Ireland has an obligation to report to the European Union on the favourable conservation status (FCS) of certain protected species and habitats every six years and this requires comprehensive species and habitat monitoring networks at a national level.
