Condition monitoring of National Nature Reserves (NNRs) in Wales

  • English

  • All

National Nature Reserves (NNRs) contain examples of some of the most important natural and semi-natural terrestrial and coastal ecosystems in Great Britain. They are managed to conserve their habitats or to provide special opportunities for scientific study of the habitats communities and species represented within them. In addition they may be managed to provide public recreation that is compatible with their natural heritage interests. NNRs are declared by the statutory country conservation agencies under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. In some cases NNRs form part of for wholly within Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) or Special Protection Areas (SPAs). The purpose of this data capture was to assess the condition of SSSI/SAC/SPA features on NNRs in Wales. SAC features are generally monitored to the condition of the feature at the SPA level. Features on designated sites are to be assessed over a period of six years in a rolling monitoring cycle. The first cycle began in 1999, however SAC monitoring cycle began in 2001.

All protected features on the NNRs are monitored using the same methodology for the specific protected sites it encompasses. - Condition monitoring of Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) in Wales: Rapid Assessments on a 6 yearly cycle. - Condition Monitoring of Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) in Wales: Common standards monitoring consisting of an assessment of feature condition for protected sites based on performance indicators. - Condition monitoring of Special Protection Areas (SPAs) in Wales: With this in mind various methods of data capture was used depending on the site and type of feature being assessed.

This data is comprised of a mixture of third party owned records and NRW records. NRW policies permits access to and release of this data under the same terms as its own data. There are no access restrictions on this data. NRW may release, publish or disseminate it freely. Part of this dataset is sensitive and restricted. The sensitive data is as follows; a number of species features appear on NRW's 'Sensitive features list'. See CCW Sensitive Features List and Guidance for details. Sensitive data must be kept confidential; general release is not permitted due to risk of harm to the environment or third parties. Sensitive data may only be released under an appropriate NRW Licence. Requests should be referred to NRW's Access to Information Officer. Data may be released freely if the sensitive records are removed in advance, or shown only at a coarser scale.
