Abstract
These Regulations designate a foreshore area as a Special Protection Area in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 2009/147/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Conservation of Wild Birds. The area is set out in Schedules 1 and 2. The purpose is to protect all species of birds to which Article 4 relates and in particular those listed in Schedule 3 to these Regulations from disturbance, capture and damage to nests and eggs. Schedule 4 lists activities that require the consent of the Minister and may cause disturbance or damage to birds protected under Schedule 3. The bird species listed in that Schedule are protected to ensure their survival and reproduction in their area of distribution. Activities listed in Schedule 4 include: cutting, uprooting or otherwise removing plants, except for agricultural purposes; introduction of plants or animals not found in the area; drainage works; water abstraction; and planting of trees or multi-annual bioenergy crops.
