Short description

1. Location: A total of 11 sites should be surveyed over the course of the three years (2023-2025) in counties Galway, Mayo, Sligo and Donegal. A full list of the 11 sites is presented in Table 2. In 2023, habitat and condition assessment surveys will occur in 5 blanket bog SACs in counties Galway, Mayo and Donegal. These are Cloghernagore Bog and Glenveagh National Park SAC (Glenveagh NP only), Slieve Tooey/ Tormore Island/ Loughros Beg Bay SAC; Glenamoy Bog Complex SAC; Owenduff-Nephin Complex SAC (incl. Wild Nephin NP); and The Twelve Bens/ Garraun Complex SAC (Connemara NP only), as listed in Table 1. This is the maximum area to be surveyed in 2023, however, it is acceptable to survey less than this, provided it’s clearly demonstrated that the remaining project sites listed in Table 2 will be surveyed over 2024 and 2025.
