It is designed to protect the aquatic habitat of bivalve and gastropod molluscs, which include oysters, mussels, cockles, scallops and clams. The Directive requires Member States to designate waters that need protection in order to support shellfish life and growth.
The Directive sets physical, chemical and microbiological requirements that designated shellfish waters must either comply with or endeavour to improve.
The Directive also provides for the establishment of pollution reduction programmes for the designated waters.

These floating objects are anchored to the seabed. Their distinctive shapes and colors indicate their purpose and how to navigate around them. They may have lights attached, and may have a sound making device such as a gong, bell or horn.

The new Irish Conservation Box (ICB) or Irish Biologically Sensitive Area will replace the old Irish Box, a 50-mile, protected fishing zone around the Irish coast.
The ICB is smaller than the old Irish Box, but extends further south. A major feature of the zone is that it follows the 200m contour on its western side and is based on the conservation box that was established to protect juvenile hake in 2001 as part of the northern hake recovery plan.
The waters around Ireland contain some of the most important spawning and nursery areas for commercial fish stocks in the North - East Atlantic. These include:
· major spawning areas for mackerel, horse mackerel and blue whiting off the west coast
· major spawning areas for hake, megrim and herring off the south coast.
· very important nursery areas for herring, haddock, hake, whiting and megrim in the shelf waters off the south and west coasts
The biological sensitivity of the waters around Ireland has been clearly demonstrated by international scientific surveys of adult fish, juveniles and fish egg distribution.
They show a clear picture of the importance of Irish coastal waters as fish spawning and nursery areas. This information formed an integral part of the case made by Ireland on the biologically sensitive nature of the seas around Ireland.2020-01-14T15:48:28.342560+00:00https://data.gov.ie/dataset/3765430c-8197-4340-bca7-19c5e42a348bAnnual Averge Wave Height2024-03-28T06:07:54.550505+00:00Marine InstituteAnnual Average Wave Height off the Irish coastline in metres as calculated by the ESBI Pelamis model for the Irish Wave Energy Resource Atlas 2005.2020-01-14T15:49:35.319092+00:00https://data.gov.ie/dataset/1982318a-36fe-4707-a835-d867edd243fcRegister of Protected Areas - Nutrient Sensitive Areas River Waterbodies (WFD RBMP Cycle 2)2024-03-28T06:08:12.559574+00:00Environmental Protection AgencyThis dataset represents a snapshot taken in September 2016 for the purpose of the WFD RBMP Cycle 2.
