The Lomstjønna Nature Reserve (Norwegian: Lomstjønna naturreservat) is located on Harøya island in the municipality of Ålesund in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.[1]
The area received protection in 1988 "to preserve an important wetland area with associated plant communities, bird life and other wildlife,"[2] according to the conservation regulations. The reserve is based around a pond named Lomstjørna (a.k.a. Lomstjønna),[3] located in a hilly and nutrient-poor bog landscape that is flat and uniform. The area encompasses the main pond, the bog, and several small ponds, and it forms a representative part of this landscape type on the island. Several bird species that prefer coastal heaths nest here: the greylag goose, European golden plover, sandpipers, and gulls. There are also some ducks and some special species such as the red-necked phalarope and Lapland longspur.
The reserve is one of six natural areas that were included in the Harøya Wetlands System Ramsar site, which was established in 1996.[4]
