The Irish Wetland Bird Survey

The Irish Wetland Bird Survey (I-WeBS) is the national monitoring project for non-breeding waterbirds, wintering in Ireland. I-WeBS is jointly run by BirdWatch Ireland and the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. WWT is a former partner.

The project aims to be the primary source of data for the conservation of waterbird populations and the wetland habitats on which they depend. To this end, a large volume of data are collected annually from a variety of wetland sites throughout Ireland. These data are used to describe and assess population trends, assess importance of individual wetland sites and hence take appropriate conservation measures.

Further information on I-WeBS can be found here.
