  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">The Dee, Traeth Lafan and Burry Inlet are designated Special Protection Areas (SPAs) for nationally and internationally important populations of wintering wildfowl and waders. To set conservation objections and assess the sites for Favourable Conservation Status, information is required on numbers of birds using the sites and the food supplies they require to survive the winter and attain adequate body condition for Spring Migration This is phase 2 of a project that was started in 2002-03 and uses existing and new data to parameterise an individual behaviour-based model to answer key questions relating to target setting, condition monitoring and management of each of the three sites. The purpose of this data capture was to inform the setting of conservation objectives for the SPAs and assess the favourable conservation status of bird populations.</dc:description>
