Plean Bainistíochta Shuíomh Oidhreachta Domhanda Sceilg Mhichíl
2008-2018

Forbraíodh an Plean Bainistíochta seo chun Suíomh Oidhreachta Domhanda (WHS) Sceilg Mhichíl a chosaint agus a chaomhnú. Tugann an plean aghaidh ar  shaincheisteanna oidhreachta cultúrtha agus nádúrtha ar bhealach comhtháite. Tháirg an Roinn Comhshaoil, Oidhreachta agus Rialtais íitiúil (RCORí), Éire, i gcomhar le hOifig na nOibreacha Poiblí (OOP), an plean, agus forbraíodh é i gcomhairle le grúpaí leasmhara áitiúla, eagraíochtaí neamhrialtasacha agus páirtithe leasmhara eile. Clúdaíonn an plean oileán Sceilg Mhichíl, seachas an teach solais íochtarach (atá in úsáid) agus a chúirtealáiste agus limistéar an héileapad leis an aonad stórála in aice láimhe.
