Round Lough and Lough Fadda ASSI

Round Lough and Lough Fadda is of special scientific interest because of its wetland flora and fauna. It is a diverse site with two distinct, but hydrologically linked lowland loughs which together support areas of open water with a species-rich assemblage of aquatic plants together with fen communities of high scientific value within County Tyrone.

A wide range of wetland plants are present, some of which are scarce. The area is also important for the overall diversity of its invertebrates including species which have a restricted distribution within the United Kingdom.
