A long-term monitoring programme was established in 1992 by DARD to determine if the ESA scheme is fulfilling its objectives. Biological and landscape monitoring programmes have been established in all ESAs. A baseline biological monitoring programme in the West Fermanagh and Erne Lakeland ESA was completed in 1993 (Hegarty et al. 1994) and baseline surveys of the other four ESAs were completed in 1994 (Hegarty et al. 1995). These surveys provided baseline data on the wildlife value of a range of sites from target habitats within the ESAs. Plant species, and invertebrates (ground beetles and spiders) were monitored.
