Currently, there is no definition of Marine Protected Areas (MPA) in Irish law. The IWDG wish to see Ireland achieve their international commitments and legal obligations, and create a truly ecologically coherent network of well-managed and well resourced MPAs, that is representative and connected.![]()
![]()
Current marine protected areas cover only 7.43% of the world’s oceans. Ireland has committed to protecting 10% of its maritime areas by 2020 under the Convention on Biological Diversity and a further target of 30% by 2030. At present, Ireland’s Marine Protected Area (MPA) coverage is at a mere 2.13%.![]()
![]()
Under the EU Habitats Directive, SACs (Special Areas of Conservation) are designated for the protection of cetaceans in Ireland. There are five to date; 3 with harbour porpoise as qualifying interests (Roaringwater Bay and Islands, Blasket Islands and Rockabill to Dalkey Islands) and two with bottlenose dolphins as qualifying interests (Lower River Shannon and West Connaught Coast).![]()
