An integral element of the Upper Lough Erne system which is particularly well characterised by the extent of its swamp and fen communities. 
There is a diverse range of plant and animal communities, with notable transitions from open water to drier ground and important concentrations of both individual species and groups of species. A number of islands are notable for the extent and quality of species-rich grasslands.
The area contains many vascular plants with a restricted distribution in the British Isles and as a whole is rich and varied for invertebrates. It is also important for otters, breeding waders and significant numbers of wetland bird species.
