The Directives list habitat types and species that are considered to be most in need of conservation at a European level. An obligation for this is a programme of species and habitat monitoring across the site. This dataset shows the results of NRWs' feature condition monitoring programme on the SACs and SPAs in Wales and contains the base data used to populate one of NRWs' corporate performance indicators. The data is updated from the active condition monitoring programme on an annual basis. The publication of indicative condition assessments for marine features in Wales in January 2018 supersedes the information for marine features currently in this data layer. The indicative condition assessments are NRWs formal advice on condition of its European marine sites and should be used. Information on the assessments and the reports themselves can be downloaded from the following link: https://naturalresources.wales/guidance-and-advice/environmental-topics/wildlife-and-biodiversity/find-protected-areas-of-land-and-seas/indicative-feature-condition-assessments-for-european-marine-sites-ems/?lang=en Subsequent updates of the SAC and SPA table may provide updated assessments for a few marine features and as such any marine feature assessment dated after May 2017 should be considered to take precedence.

This data is redacted to meet the NRW guidance on ecological data and information exempt from general release under the EIR/FOI regulations in order to make it publicly available. Please note the following about the data: * The data are downloaded from the NRW internal SAC and SPA monitoring programme results spreadsheet annually and while significant changes to the results since that date are not anticipated it is worth noting that there can in some cases be a significant delay between the feature being monitored (the date shown in the spreadsheet) and the condition assessment being completed and reported. * Condition assessments for the three Killarney fern features are not linked to individual SACs as the species is considered to be sensitive and the locations confidential. * While some ad hoc monitoring of SSSI and NNR features is undertaken this is not currently part of a coordinated programme and is not held centrally.
