Rogerstown Estuary

Rogerstown Estuary is a nationally and internationally significant coastal wetland located approximately 25 kilometers north of Dublin on Ireland's east coast, situated between the Donabate-Portrane peninsula and the town of Rush. Covering 3.63 square kilometers (900 acres), this relatively small but ecologically rich estuary features extensive mudflats, saltwater marshes, wet meadows, and tidal creeks that support extraordinary bird populations. The estuary holds triple designation as a Nature Reserve, Special Area of Conservation, and Ramsar Wetland of International Importance, recognizing its crucial role as habitat for Arctic-breeding shorebirds and waterfowl along the East Atlantic Flyway.
