New management plans have been published for Jersey’s four Ramsar sites.
A Ramsar site is a wetland designated to be of international importance under the Ramsar
Convention. The plans set out strategic aims and management objectives of those sites
over the next five years, 2025-2029.
Jersey’s Ramsar sites include:
- South-east coast of Jersey
- Les Écréhous and Les Dirouilles
- Les Minquiers
- Les Pierres de Lecq (the Paternosters)
The Minister for the Environment, Deputy Steve Luce, said: “The plans demonstrate our
commitment to protecting Jersey’s unique wetland environments. Ramsar sites are
internationally recognised for their ecological, cultural, and economic significance, and
these new management plans outline clear objectives for the sustainable management,
monitoring, and protection of these valuable areas.
“I would like to extend a special thanks to the Jersey Ramsar Advisory Group for their
contribution to the development of these plans.”
