English: Kilkee Reefs are a special area of conservation in County Clare, Ireland.
Kilkee Reefs and Cliffs, county Clare, Ireland. Special area of conservation.

The area is a protected site of qualifying interest for the presence of reefs, submerged or partially submerged sea caves and large shallow inlets and bays.[1]

The site contains shallow sublittoralreefs, steeply sloping and exposed to wave action. A number of submerged marine caves, which have been formed due to the erosion of the sedimentary rock, give shelter to a range of fauna species including lobsters, crayfish, spider crabs and conger eels, and in summer may be visited by sunfish and triggerfish. Where light permits, soft corals, sponges, jewel anemones and colonial sea squirts crowd the walls.[2]
