As
we travel eastwards, we see the bridge which is being built to carry the M1 over
the Estuary. This bridge provides one of the focal points of our trail because
it was the subject of a major environmental impact study by Fingal County
Council. This area was declared a “Special Protection Area” by the Minister
for Finance on 16 March 1994, and it has been defined in the County
Development Plan as a region of scientific interest because of its
ornithological, botanical and zoological importance. We will examine each one of
these elements in turn because this study enables us to outline the various
flora and fauna, which exist in this area prior to the erection of the M1
Bridge.
