LOUGH NEAGH LCAP PART THREE BUDGET SUMMARY ....................................................................... 81 Appendices ............................................................................................................................................ 94 Page 2 of 117 Executive Summary This Lough Neagh Landscape Conservation Action Plan (LCAP) has been developed by the Lough Neagh Partnership, as part of an application to the Heritage Lottery Fund under the Landscape Partnership Programme. This LCAP is based on the research and consultation carried out by the Lough Neagh Partnership over the last two years. The scheme covers an area of 393 km2 and has the Lough Neagh wetlands area as its heart. It contains 27 integrated landscape projects that relate directly to the conservation of the Lough’s cultural, built and natural heritage. A steering group made up of partners associated with the plan met on a monthly basis from June 2014 to Jun 2015 to provide strategic direction and advice and a common vision for the LCAP. The main lead partner is the Lough Neagh Partnership, which has an existing track record of working together delivering externally funded programmes including the Rural Development Programme, INTERREG, Tourism NI and Heritage Lottery Projects. This strong experience will be of assistance in the effective implementation of the plan from 2016 – 2021. The plan intends to address the risk of the continued increased loss of important internationally recognised wetland habitat for breeding wetland birds as a result of encroachment of scrub in and around the shoreline and small islands. This will lead to further declines in the wetland bird populations. The plan intends to protect important remnants of peatland and wet grassland in the southern shores of Lough Neagh, and in the Lough Beg area, and to innovatively work with the private sector to address habitat loss and in some instances restore and create new places for wildlife and outdoor recreation. The plan will also attempt to address the encroachment of scrub into the shoreline area of the Lough that was lowered and introduce a more sustainable shoreline management plan. Lough Neagh is the only Lough in Ireland that could be recognised as a working Lough with a major sand extraction industry and eel fishery. These industries are recognised in the plan as a unique and important part of the heritage of the Lough that has added to and have had a significant impact on the landscape, economy and cultural identity of the Lough and the people who live around its shores. A major focus has therefore been placed on the Lough’s rich built and cultural heritage and two major archaeological and signage plans have also been worked up and included as part of this LCAP. The LCAP identifies over 27 heritage projects which are strongly related and interconnected and have been developed in partnership with seven main partners to address the main heritage needs of the Lough and provide real outcomes and positive impacts on the unique waterways landscape. Some projects will still be subject to formal impact assessment and statutory permissions. The Lough is also different in that it has no formal government or interdepartmental management body responsible for its integrated management. This LCAP is therefore intended to act as a tool to not only address heritage needs, but to stimulate other people to take responsibility for the protection of the Lough and its shores and to provide a long term legacy for its future sustainable management. We trust this plan will provide an understanding of the conservation and heritage needs of Lough Neagh, the vision we are working towards, the work of all partners that is required and the legacy that will be left. Page 3 of 117 LOUGH NEAGH LCAP PART ONE Introduction The Lough Neagh Landscape has in the past been viewed by local people as a vast, wild, and dangerous place. Until recent times it was viewed by many local people not as an important landscape to be protected or conserved

Report production: July 2009 Consultation: August 2009 SUMMARY Ponds are an important freshwater habitat that has been shown to play a key role in maintaining biodiversity at landscape level. However, ponds are also vulnerable to environmental degradation and there is evidence that, at a national level, pond quality is declining. In 2007, the biodiversity importance of ponds was recognised when high quality ponds (Priority Ponds) were added to the list of UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) Priority Habitats.

The unit has cross curricular links with science. BROADCAST DATES BBC2 12.10-12.30PM Programme Title Broadcast Date 7 Geography - Textile Industry 10 March 2003 8 Geography - Linen 17 March 2003 9 Geography - Canals 24 March 2003 10 Geography - Water 31 March 2003 PROGRAMME - CANALS LEARNING OUTCOMES By the end of the programme pupils should be able to • describe the development of our inland waterways • identify why canals fell into disuse • describe why canals are being restored • describe modern-day uses of canals ABOUT THE PROGRAMME Jamie Darling goes out and about in the Ulster countryside to discover our forgotten canals. The story begins in the old Tyrone coalfi elds and Jamie traces the development of our inland waterway system, which was designed to carry local coal to Dublin and Belfast. Some Key Stage 2 pupils show Jamie around the Newry Inland Canal and Ship Canal. We learn about the heyday of the canals and some of the problems that beset them. We learn how the advent of the railways sounded the death-knell of our canals as viable commercial routes. Jamie explores the remains of the old Lagan and Coalisland Canals and fi nds that a section of the Lagan Canal between Sprucefi eld and Moira now lies under the M1 Motorway. We see work in progress at the Island site in Lisburn where an old canal lock is being restored.

Dating to around the 10th century, the cross is all that remains of a monastery once located on the site. Made of sandstone, the cross stands at 5.5 metres high and contains 22 separate sculpted panels portraying biblical stories. The cross has been a popular site for pilgrims and visitors for centuries. You can visit too. Ardboe High Cross is a State Care Monument managed by the Department for Communities. It is free to visit and open year-round. www.midulstercouncil.org Comic developed by: History of the Site Ardboe High Cross stands on 22 panels on each of the four sides of the cross depict stories from the Bible including the shore of Lough Neagh as a Old Testament scenes such as the temptation reminder of the significance of of Adam and Eve and Cain slaying Abel, a site with a history stretching as well as New Testament stories recalling the early life of Jesus Christ through to the back over 1000 years. crucifixion.

  • Barge 1 Lagan Waterway and History
    LAGAN WATERWAY HISTORY Navigable waterways Prior to the advent of canals and railways in the 1700s and 1800s, packhorses and horses and carts or packhorse were the main means of moving stuff. Although Ireland has had a good road network since the 1600s, such roads were poorly surfaced and not always well maintained. The loads transported were thus limited by the hauling power of the horses and condition of the roads. Bulky, low-value goods such as coal, building materials and grain were particularly expensive to transport. Railways solved this problem, but only after the development of reliable steam locomotives in the mid-1800s. Before then, rivers were the cheapest way of moving large heavy loads where speed was not essential. Except for their tidal sections however, most rivers were not navigable for any great distance and the size of boats, and thus of the loads carried, was invariably limited by obstructions such as shallows, rapids and weirs. Navigations and canals Navigable waterways are of two types – navigations and canals. Navigations are existing natural watercourses whose navigability has been improved, whereas canals are entirely artificial channels excavated by hand and/or machine. The pros and cons of each type of waterway are as follows: For Against Navigations No major civil engineering works Prone to strong currents in winter and required so relatively cheap. lack of water in summer, both of which may make navigation temporarily impossible. [This was certainly the case on the Lagan] Summer water shortages are potentially exacerbated by demands of mill owners with prior rights to abstract water from the river.
