The Lower Slaney Estuary is a significant and productive estuarine fishery in County Wexford, Ireland. This shallow, sheltered transitional waterbody covers an area of approximately 18.3 to 18.4 square kilometers and is protected by a narrow estuary mouth. It forms part of the larger Wexford Harbour system and is situated within the Slaney River Valley Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and the Wexford Harbour and Slobs Special Protection Area (SPA). The estuary is characterized by important habitats including tidal mudflats and floating vegetation. The waterbody is currently classified as being at risk of not achieving good ecological status, with challenges from agricultural runoff affecting water quality in both the estuary and the connected river systems.
