Liste der Ramsar-Gebiete in Irland
Die Republik Irland trat am 15. März 1985 der Ramsar-Konvention bei, dem Übereinkommen über Feuchtgebiete von internationaler Bedeutung. Inzwischen gibt es 45 offiziell anerkannte Ramsar-Schutzgebiete mit einer Gesamtfläche von 66.994 Hektar. Auf nationaler Ebene ist das 2010 gegründete Irish Ramsar Wetlands Committee für diese Schutzgebiete zuständig. Es wird dabei vom National Parks and Wildlife Service Irlands (irisch An tSeirbhís Páirceanna Náisiúnta agus Fiadhúlra) und der irischen Environmental Protection Agency unterstützt. 2018 brachte das Komitee anlässlich der Bio Diversity Week, das Handbuch „Irish Wetland Types – An Identification Guide and Field Survey Manual“ heraus, das kostenlos heruntergeladen werden kann.
