NI Coastal Vulnerability Assessment Physical Assets

This layer is a high level Vulnerability Assessment of Physical Assets along the Northern Ireland coast. It was created as part of the Baseline Study and Gap Analysis of Coastal Erosion Risk Management in Northern Ireland Study which was prepared by Amey Consulting with HR Wallingford for the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) in 2018. The Report is an important first step in identifying areas that may be vulnerable to coastal erosion and has identified a number of key issues for consideration in determining the way forward. The full report is found at https://www.infrastructure-ni.gov.uk/publications/baseline-study-and-gap-analysis-coastal-erosion-risk-management-ni As part of the study, a high-level preliminary vulnerability assessment of coastal erosion along the Northern Ireland coast was undertaken utilising data which was available at the time. The high-level assessment consisted of two stages: an Erosion Risk Appraisal (this layer) and a Vulnerability Assessment. The Vulnerability Assessment compared areas of high/medium/low erosion risk against physical asset value, historic asset value and natural asset value also at high/medium/low value. These layers are available on the ODNI Portal.

Northern Ireland Inshore Marine Conservation Zones

This GIS layer describes the boundaries of 5 Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs); 4 were designated in December 2016, under the Marine Act (Northern Ireland) 2013 and Strangford Lough Marine Nature Reserve automatically became an MCZ under this section 13 of the afore mentioned legislation. An MCZ is a new type of Marine Protected Area (MPA), designated in the Northern Ireland Inshore Region to protect nationally important habitats, species and geological/geomorphological features, while fully taking into account any economic, cultural or social consequences of doing so.  Rathlin, Waterfoot, Outer Belfast Lough and Carlingford Lough MCZs were designated on the 12th December 2016 after a full consultation process.  The MCZ polygons were digitised to bound the protected features identified within the MCZ using the guidelines for MCZ designation (https://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/publications/guidance-selection-and-designation-marine-conservation-zones-mczs-northern-Ireland).  

The boundaries are subject to change if new verified evidence comes to light regarding the location or extent of the MCZ features which can include including habitats, species and geological/geomorphological features. Further information can be found at:

Coastal Flood Boundary Extreme Sea Levels (2018) - NI Extract

Extreme Sea Level values is part of Coastal Design/Extreme Sea Levels, a GIS dataset and supporting information providing design / extreme sea level and typical surge information around the coastline of the UK, including England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and Jersey. The information is relevant under present day (year 2018) conditions and does not account for future changes due to climate change, such as sea level rise. This is a specialist dataset which informs on work commenced around the coast ranging from coastal flood modelling, scheme design, strategic planning and flood risk assessments.  

Extreme Sea Level values describes the extreme sea levels for 16 different annual probabilities of exceedance. Confidence levels relating to the 5% and 95% lower and upper bounds of confidence are included. Mean High Water Spring (MHWS) and Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) predicted tide levels are also included in the dataset for some sites but may not be used for navigational purposes.  

This 2018 update to the Coastal Design Sea Levels dataset was carried out in partnership for the UK Coastal Flood Forecasting partnership, which includes the Environment Agency (EA), Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and the Department for Infrastructure Northern Ireland (DfINI).  

The main project outputs include:  

-	Coastal flood boundary conditions for the UK: technical summary report  

-	Coastal flood boundary conditions for the UK: user guide  

-	Coastal design sea levels – coastal flood boundary surge shapes (2018)  

-	GIS output in British National Grid projection  

The main project outputs are available at the UK open data portal – see link below

Construction Procurement Pipeline for NI

The pipeline document is designed to complement information provided on the ISNI Information Portal (www.isni.gov.uk).  

• The ISNI Information Portal provides a wide range of information on construction projects (and their underpinning procurements) under the Executive’s Investment Strategy for Northern Ireland.  With effect from May 2015, all bodies covered by NI Public Procurement Policy are required to maintain detailed information on infrastructure developments, including procurement information, on the ISNI Information Portal.  This requirement is set out in Procurement Guidance Note PGN 02/15 (see link below).  

• The pipeline differs from the Information Portal in two ways.  Firstly, it has a focus on procurement opportunities that have not yet been tendered (i.e. only pre-procurement).  Secondly, the pipeline document provides a longer-term view of potential deal flow and broad estimates of the timing of procurement opportunities over that term. 

• Procurement opportunities within the pipeline encompass both construction works and construction related services (e.g. design).

2018 based Population Projections for Northern Ireland

National population projections by age and gender are produced every two years for the UK and each of the UK constituent countries by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on behalf of the National Statistician and the Registrars General of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Principal Projections are produced based on long-term assumptions about future fertility, mortality and migration levels, with variant projections being produced from various alternative assumptions – usually in the form of high/low variants and their combinations. National population projections provide an estimate of the future size and age structure of the population of Northern Ireland. Population projections are widely used in policy development in areas such as housing, healthcare and education.

DAERA Macroalgae Rocky Shore Surveys

The rocky shore macroalgae survey is annual assessment of the proportions of rhodophyta (red algae), chlorophyta (green algae), and opportunistic macroalgae communities at fixed sites around the Northern Irish coast. Algal populations can alter in numbers and species composition due to external environmental influence, hence they are a useful indicator of anthropogenic disturbances and pollution. Shores are surveyed for presence of specimens against a prescribed list of species (Reduced Species List).Certain sites are also surveyed for a complete list of species present (Full Species List). Data is recorded as presence (1), or absence (""). Data collected contributes to the classification of Northern Irish water bodies under the Rocky Shore Macroalgae quality element of the EU Water Framework Directive. Within DAERA, this work forms part of the Intertidal Rocky Shore work programme (MM(YY)-12).

Population Projections for areas within Northern Ireland: 2018-based

Following the publication of Northern Ireland level population projections, NISRA subsequently produces official sub-national population projections for areas within Northern Ireland. These sub-national projections are based on 2018 mid-year estimates and assumptions regarding future fertility, mortality and migration for areas within Northern Ireland. In keeping with past practice, these local level projections are constrained to the most recent Northern Ireland level population projections. Projections are available for both current and former Local Government Districts, Health and Social Care Trusts and former Education and Library Boards.

Areas of Special Scientific Interest

Areas of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI ) provide statutory protection for the best examples of Northern Ireland's flora, fauna, geological or physiographical features. An ASSI designation may extend into intertidal areas, to the jurisdictional limit of local authorities - i.e. the mean low water mark in Northern Ireland. There is no provision for marine ASSIs beyond the mean low water mark. ASSIs were first designated under the Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands (Northern Ireland) Order 1985: New ASSIs are designated under the Environment (Northern Ireland) Order 2002. The Order makes it an offence for anyone to intentionally or recklessly damage any natural feature of an ASSI. Ballyquintin Point, on 30 May 1995, was the first declared ASSI to be mapped using GIS: previous to this date all ASSI boundaries were defined on a hardcopy map. Legislative Context: Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands (Northern Ireland) Order 1985. Environment (Northern Ireland) Order) 2002. Supplementary Information: The key ASSI Features for each site are detailed under the following 3 categories: Species (2 species fields are available to facilitate full descriptions), Habitat, Earth Science. Each site can have features in one or more of these categories.
