Dataset description

Ramsar sites are wetlands of international importance designated under the Ramsar Convention. This dataset contains details for all habitat cover data for all designated Ramsar sites within the UK and its Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies. The dataset lists habitat type drawn from a standard list used by the Ramsar Secretariat for all Ramsar sites in the world. The % cover of each habitat is shown. Note that these data have not been updated since the original Ramsar Information Sheets were compiled in 1998 except in cases where the site has been either newly designated or extended since then. Commonly specified habitats in the UK are: Peatlands (including peat bogs swamps, fens) Sand / shingle shores (including dune systems) Freshwater marshes / pools: permanent Salt marshes Freshwater lakes: permanent Tidal flats

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.

Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.

Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.

Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
