UERNSEY celebrates a marine-protection milestone this year—the 15th anniversary of its first Ramsar site. In 2006, 35 years after the convention to recognise and protect wetlands of international importance was signed in the Iranian city of Ramsar, Guernsey designated L’Erée headland and the island of Lihou as its first protected wetland) has 214 different species. With Sark designating the Gouliot caves and headland in 2007 and Guernsey naming a second wetland, Herm, Jethou and The Humps in 2015, the wider Bailiwick of Guernsey now has a Ramsar site covering each of its main islands.
