		Larne Lough is a sea lough enclosed to the east by the peninsula of Island Magee.
		As the effects of salinity and differing tidal inundations are not greatly felt at these upper parts of Larne Lough, the saltmarsh zonation patterns are not distinct and the main vegetational interest lies in the transition to non-saltmarsh plant communities.
		It is not known to what extent these factors have affected the tern populations in Larne Lough but a possible reason for the recent decrease in Sterna dougallii is thought to be due to the species geographically regrouping further south and therefore leaving the northern breeding sites.
