This resource contains the spatial dataset of Special Areas of Conservation in Northern Ireland (excluding offshore areas), last updated in May 2018. The date of the latest update to the data is provided in the file name.
Prior to the UKâs exit from the European Union, copies of the UKâs spatial datasets for SPAs and SACs were submitted to the EU, and historically the dataset provided here was a copy of that dataset. Updated versions of the dataset were submitted to the EU in batches called tranches, following changes and updates to the site networks (e.g. designation of new sites or amendments to site boundaries); as well as in response to corrections to the datasets or amendments due to updates to the underlying base maps.
The final tranche submission (tranche 60) to the EU was in December 2020. However a dataset may have a date that doesnât correspond to the most recent tranche update if the data have not changed since a previous tranche update, or if there have been dynamic changes, such as boundary amendments in response to changes to the base maps, which have happened subsequent to a tranche update.
This dataset was last updated in May 2018, following the tranche 56 submission (November 2017). Any amendments to the site details of SACs in Northern Ireland through subsequent tranche updates did not affect this spatial dataset.
The spatial dataset for Great Britain is available as a separate [resource](https://hub.jncc.gov.uk/assets/52b4e00d-798e-4fbe-a6ca-2c5735ddf049).
More information on SACs can be found on the [SACs webpage](https://jncc.gov.uk/our-work/special-areas-of-conservation-overview/).

The GIS boundary data have been collated at JNCC from data supplied by DAERA. The CNCBs may periodically update SAC boundaries in advance of JNCCâs updates, and these changes may therefore not be captured in the dataset. For the latest SAC boundary data, please visit the relevant CNCB website https://jncc.gov.uk/our-work/uk-protected-area-datasets-for-download/#further-information-on-national-designations
