Objective:
Maintain the fresh water marshes in a favourable condtion:
Factors:
The Marl Loch and the Yellow Mires have a very rich flora
(Chapter III, section 6(d) (ii)). Threats to these areas come
from drainage and toxic chemicals. Management should aim at
avoiding drainage schemes in the vicinity of the Marl Loch and an
area running about half a mile to the north of the Loch. The
effects of toxic chemicals on the plant and animal life of the
fresh-water marshes could be serious, and their use anywhere
within the Reserve should be discouraged.
