This dataset contains details for all broad wetland types for all designated Ramsar sites within the UK and its Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies. The dataset lists wetland types drawn from a standard list used by the Ramsar Secretariat for all Ramsar sites in the world. The categories are Marine and coastal Wetlands, Inland wetlands and human made wetlands. Note that more than one wetland type may occur in a single site. This information is sourced from the Ramsar Information Sheet.
