  • Rural Housing in Ireland
    INTERREG Network Project Progress Report Coastal Zone Management Network (CZMNet) 4th November 2003 INTERREG Network Project Progress Report Project Title: Coastal Zone Management Network (CZMNet) Project Ref. No.: 54513 Report No.: 1 Date: 4th November 2003 Author: Brendan Dollard, Enterprise Ireland The CZMNet group held its first meeting on 21st of October and with an attendance of 27 key people involved in coastal zone management it proved to be a very informative and sociable occasion. The agenda (attached) was prepared in consultation with the attendees and included such topical issues as one-off rural housing on the coast, sea level rise and bye-laws in the coastal zone. The meeting kicked off with a welcome by Dave O’Donoghue of the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources in whose offices the meeting was held. The aims of CZMNet were then presented by Brendan Dollard where the importance of creating a long lasting Welsh/Irish network, in which coastal zone management experiences could be shared, was stressed. Here also each network member introduced themselves and stated which CZM issues they found most pressing. The next presentation by Kevin Lynch on the award winning Bantry Bay Charter created a lot of interest and raised one of the key issues to emerge from the meeting that of sourcing long term funding for CZM. David Poulter followed with a comprehensive presentation on the current state of CZM in Carmarthenshire. This Wales dimension immediately highlighted differences in such fundamentals as the practical definition of the coastal zone when compared with that used by the Irish local authorities.

  • Crossness Sewage Treatment Works Nature Reserve & Southern Marsh Aquatic Invertebrate Survey
    Commissioned by Thames Water Utilities Limited Clearwater Court Vastern Road Reading RG1 8DB CROSSNESS SEWAGE TREATMENT WORKS NATURE RESERVE & SOUTHERN MARSH AQUATIC INVERTEBRATE SURVEY Report number: CPA18054 JULY 2019 Prepared by Colin Plant Associates (UK) Consultant Entomologists 30a Alexandra Rd London N8 0PP 1 1 INTRODUCTION, BACKGROUND AND METHODOLOGY 1.1 Introduction and background 1.1.1 On 30th May 2018 Colin Plant Associates (UK) were commissioned by Biodiversity Team Manager, Karen Sutton on behalf of Thames Water Utilities Ltd. to undertake aquatic invertebrate sampling at Crossness Sewage Treatment Works on Erith Marshes, Kent. This survey was to mirror the locations and methodology of a previous survey undertaken during autumn 2016 and spring 2017. Colin Plant Associates also undertook the aquatic invertebrate sampling of this previous survey. 1.1.2 The 2016-17 aquatic survey was commissioned with the primary objective of establishing a baseline aquatic invertebrate species inventory and to determine the quality of the aquatic habitats present across both the Nature Reserve and Southern Marsh areas of the Crossness Sewage Treatment Works. The surveyors were asked to sample at twenty-four, pre-selected sample station locations, twelve in each area. Aquatic Coleoptera and Heteroptera (beetles and true bugs) were selected as target groups. A report of the previous survey was submitted in Sept 2017 (Plant 2017). 1.1.3 During December 2017 a large-scale pollution event took place and untreated sewage escaped into a section of the Crossness Nature Reserve. The primary point of egress was Nature Reserve Sample Station 1 (NR1) though because of the connectivity of much of the waterbody network on the marsh other areas were affected.

During a short collecting trip to Montenegro in 2014, 26 locations were sampled and 692 specimens belonging to 45 species of water beetles were collected. The following species are recorded for the first time from Montenegro: Haliplus dal- matinus J. Müller, 1900, Haliplus heydeni Wehncke, 1875, Haliplus laminatus (Schaller, 1783), Hydroporus erythrocephalus (Linnaeus, 1758), Hyphydrus anatolicus (Guignot, 1957), Melanodytes pustulatus (Rossi, 1792) and Rhantus bistriatus (Bergsträsser, 1778). The addition of these seven species brings the total of Hydradephaga known from Montenegro to 91 species. The new records are presented and an updated checklist of the Hydradephaga of Montenegro is given.
