The whole of the Rogerstown estuary is a proposed natural heritage area and is also proposed for designation as a Special Area of Conservation, SAC. The outer estuary from Rogerstown Viaduct to the Burrow and part of the Eastern Ford is designated as a special protection area. The public advertisement of the area as a proposed candidate SAC provides legal protection for the important wildlife habitats and species to be found in the inner estuary.
Dúchas, the heritage service of my Department, is currently reviewing the situation to ascertain if the inner portion of the estuary merits additional designation as a special protection area.
