Dublin (Ireland): Biodiversity preservation for the future Dublin port city of 2040

To harmonize the expansion of port operations into previously untouched areas with the necessity to consider their effects on biodiversity, it’s crucial to proactively establish a long-term strategy. The BirdWatch Ireland and Dublin Bay Biosphere are monitoring the local bird population to understand how they interact and are impacted by the port city activities. By tracking the movement and habitats of these local and migrating bird species, the port authority of Dublin can adjust their activities accordingly throughout the year.

This good practice also includes objective 10.4 (Supporting the efforts of civil society to protect fauna and flora in the City Port territory) of the AIVP’s 2030 Agenda.
