Our approach was to accept that the industry practitioners were best placed to know what was required and to formulate our recommendations using their views as our guide. I would like to thank all of the people who shared their knowledge so generously and freely with us, and I am confident that they will be able to see their views reflected in the text of the final Review document. Working within the Terms of Reference we were given, what we set out to achieve was to craft a series of recommendations that would address the shortcomings in the current arrangements through science based data and the introduction of best practice. Just as importantly, the recommendations are also designed to progressively hand over more and more management responsibility to the producers. The pace at which this will occur is up to the mussel farmers themselves. It will be determined by the ability of the growers to achieve day-to-day working consensus across a wide range of management issues. By learning to trust each other through working together, the producers will eventually come to control most of what happens in their own sector. Over time and if fully implemented, the recommendations contained in the ‘Rising Tide’ Review will also protect the industry in terms of it being able to demonstrate strong environmental sustainability credentials. This is a crucial issue and a failure by the sector to take the necessary steps in this regard will undoubtedly lead to limitations and constraints being imposed from outside. If that were to happen, the true potential of the BG mussel industry on the island of Ireland will not be realised. I would like to acknowledge the cooperation and hard work put into the Review by my colleagues on the Review Group: Mr Kenny Parker and Mr Greg Griffiths of DARD, Mr John Kelly, Ms Jill Dunlea and Ms Deirdre Kelleher of DAFF and Mr Barry Fox of the Loughs Agency. My thanks also to Ms Josephine Kelly of DAFF, Ms Averil Gaw of DARD and Mr Andrew Kineen of the SFPA for their expert advice and input. On behalf of the Review Group I would like to thank Ms Lucy Watson, Mr Nicolas Ranninger and Ms Grainne O’Brien, all of BIM, for preparing the marketing module and overseeing the environmental report respectively. Mr Ben Dallaghan, Mr Ciaran Caulfield, Ms Dee Moore and Mr Bill Hollywood also gave valuable assistance in the preparation of maps and statistics and in organising the logistics of the consultative meetings. Finally I wish to acknowledge the sterling work done by Mr Mike Murphy and most especially by Ms Joanne Gaffney, both of the Aquaculture Initiative EEIG, in providing the secretariat function to the group and facilitating this complex tripartite undertaking. Donal Maguire Chairman of the Bottom Grown Mussel Review Group 4 THE RISING TIDE A Review of the Bottom Grown (BG) Mussel Sector on the Island of Ireland Executive Summary The BG mussel sector, on all parts of the island of Ireland, has undergone many changes over the last ten years. Overall it has been a successful period, characterised by strong market demand for the product and significant inflows of investment both from within the island and from international sources, most notably from the Netherlands. In many ways the sector has been the powerhouse of Irish aquaculture, forging ahead while other types of fish farming have struggled to make progress. It is now a valuable industry generating significant value from an indigenous resource that undoubtedly has scope for further positive development. The picture however has not been uniformly positive. A rapid expansion in output has been experienced in some areas, whilst other, longer established locations, have struggled to cope with the introduction of mandatory vessel safety legislation. At the same time the EU has barred member states from granting financial assistance for fishing vessel purchase or renewal and this set of twin circumstances has driven ownership change amongst the established operators in the sector. Against this backdrop the other overriding characteristic of the period has been an intense and unprecedented competition amongst the producers for access to the wild seed mussel resource. All of these changes have created pressures on the regulatory arrangements and on the infrastructure supporting the sector. These pressures, largely generated by the industry’s own success in expanding its output and range, has led to demand from producers for a wide ranging review in clear recognition that reform of many aspects of the administration and regulation of the sector was urgently needed. The challenge for the BG mussel industry now is to effectively manage all of this change and success so as to permanently capture the progress that has been made and to ensure that the further potential of the sector is unlocked in a way that is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. This Review, carried out by a working group drawn from DARD, DAFF and the Loughs Agency, under a Terms of Reference set by the ministers in the two jurisdictions and supported by a Secretariat provided by the Aquaculture Initiative EEIG, sets out a series of analyses and recommendations to address the key deficiencies in the current arrangements. A guiding policy statement was used to underpin the Review and to form the basis for the subsequent recommendations. The purpose of the regulation and management regime for the seed mussel resource shall be to ensure the sustainable exploitation of the wild mussel seed resource and to maximise the benefits derived from that resource in terms of volume and value of the mussel crop subsequently grown, harvested and processed with the objective of generating sustainable economic activity and employment in coastal communities. Marketing Effective marketing and market-led development has to be the cornerstone of any progressive industry. Evidence from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and other sources shows that the demand for seafood is increasing the world over, and this clear and growing demand represents an opportunity for the BG mussel sector on the island of Ireland. The projections reliably predict that there is significant opportunity for future growth in the seafood market both at home and abroad. Mussels are an almost ideal form of seafood in marketing terms as they encompass within their product range the key characteristics of health, indulgence and convenience. THE RISING TIDE An Review of the Bottom Grown (BG) Mussel Sector on the Island of Ireland 5 From a marketing perspective, most of the output of BG mussels from the island of Ireland is exported in an undifferentiated bulk form and it is evident that there is scope to add significant value. Therefore, key objectives for the coming years should be to: n Improve and diversify the product offering. n Develop a distinct and ‘valorised’ identity for BG mussels from the island of Ireland. n Improve supplier/buyer relations, thus securing the key relationships in the existing market. n Take advantage of growing consumer demand for seafood, by positioning BG mussels correctly in the market. Summary of marketing recommendations 1. The development agencies to actively work with BG mussel operators on the island of Ireland on the promotion of labelled IQM quality assured mussels into the Dutch-supplied marketplace. 2. The development agencies to engage in a market development programme for BG mussels from the island of Ireland in the French market place, including an awareness campaign and inward journalist visits. 3. That further investment is made in market research and intelligence. 4. That improved services for commercially focused Research and Development/New Product Development (NPD) be provided by the relevant agencies. Environment An environmental assessment of the BG mussel culture industry throughout the island of Ireland was carried out by Poseidon-Aquatic Resource Management Ltd, the full text of the environmental assessment is included in Appendix 3. The environmental assessment was conducted within the context of the existing series of agreements and cross-border mechanisms for the management of the sector, in particular the seed fishery. Given that a number of the recommendations made by the independent review of the environmental sustainability of the BG grown mussel sector are already underway, it is clear that the industry is well aware of its interaction with the natural environment and that it is being proactive in continually improving its environmental performance. Overall the sector has a low environmental impact, especially in the areas of visual impact, noise, odour, water, landscape and material assets. Resource use (seed allocation) and ecological impacts (benthic impacts) require a greater level of understanding, and this will be progressively addressed by the recommended research priorities, proposed stock tracking system and fishing schedules. The more structured approach to the management of licensed areas and to seed allocations as laid out in the main recommendations of the Review will enhance the effectiveness of existing and new environmental management mechanisms, thereby contributing to the sustainable development of the sector. 6 THE RISING TIDE A Review of the Bottom Grown (BG) Mussel Sector on the Island of Ireland Summary of environmental recommendations 1. That the competent authorities continue the appropriate assessment process where aquaculture sites for BG cultivation lie within or adjacent to NATURA 2000 sites.

  • Site Synopsis
    SITE SYNOPSIS SITE NAME: SLANEY RIVER VALLEY SITE CODE: 000781 This site comprises the freshwater stretches of the Slaney as far as the Wicklow Mountains; a number of tributaries the larger of which include the Bann, Boro, Glasha, Clody, Derry, Derreen, Douglas and Carrigower Rivers; the estuary at Ferrycarrig and Wexford Harbour. The site flows through the counties of Wicklow, Wexford and Carlow. Towns along the site but not in it are Baltinglass, Hacketstown, Tinahely, Tullow, Bunclody, Camolin, Enniscorthy and Wexford. The river is up to 100 m wide in places and is tidal at the southern end from Edermine Bridge below Enniscorthy. In the upper and central regions almost as far as the confluence with the Derry River the geology consists of granite. Above Kilcarry Bridge, the Slaney has cut a gorge into the granite plain. The Derry and Bann Rivers are bounded by a narrow line of uplands which corresponds to schist outcrops. Where these tributaries cut through this belt of hard rocks they have carved deep gorges, more than two miles long at Tinahely and Shillelagh. South of Kildavin the Slaney flows through an area of Ordovician slates and grits. The site is a candidate SAC selected for alluvial wet woodlands, a priority habitat on Annex I of the E.U. Habitats Directive. The site is also selected as a candidate SAC for floating river vegetation, estuaries, tidal mudflats and old oak woodlands, all habitats listed on Annex I of the E.U. Habitats Directive. The site is further selected for the following species listed on Annex II of the same directive - Sea Lamprey, River Lamprey, Brook Lamprey, Freshwater Pearl Mussel, Twaite Shad, Atlantic Salmon and Otter.

  • The Meanderthalltale of the Scandinavian Kingdom of Dublin in Joyce’S Notetaking
    GENETIC JOYCE STUDIES – Issue 16 (Spring 2016) The meanderthalltale of the Scandinavian Kingdom of Dublin in Joyce’s notetaking Viviana Mirela Braslasu and Robbert-Jan Henkes The Scandinavian Kingdom of Dublin, written as a meandering series of footnotes and side notes and appendixes, reminiscent of the Night Lessons chapter in Finnegans Wake, looms large in Joyce’s 1930 notebook VI.B.29. The merchant-historian Charles Haliday published his account of Dublin as a Viking seaport in 1881 (republished 1884, M. H. Gill & Son, 50 Upper Sackville Street, Dublin), but it’s not only about the era of the ninth century till 1014, when the Vikings after the battle of Clontarf were sent back to sea. We learn immediately that the pyramids in Egypt were called, in the middle ages, ‘the seven granaries of S. Joseph’ and almost one-third of the book is taken up by equally heavily footnoted appendixes, about the ancient name of Dublin. Haliday’s reveling in details and his unique inability to stick to the story is one of the things that must have appealed to Joyce in the book. In VI.B.29, Joyce read only up to page 173, but that was, as Vincent Deane mentions in his introduction, because Joyce had already read the book in the Spring of 1925 and made notes in VI.B.7. 1 A random double page of The Scandinavian Kingdom of Dublin It now turns out that Joyce not only made notes in VI.B.7, but also in the next notebook, the non- extant VI.D.2 of April-May 1925, and (on rereading a passage) in Notebook VI.B.8 of July- September of that year – with in Notebook VI.B.9 of June-July 1925 perhaps an intermediate insight.

  • Scandinavian Relations with Ireland During the Viking Period (1922)
    UCi>B LIBRARY SCANDINAVIAN RELATIONS WITH IRELAND DURING THE VIKING PERIOD SCANDINAVIAN RELATIONS WITH IRELAND DURING THE VIKING PERIOD BY A. WALSH DUBLIN THE TALBOT PRESS LIMITED LONDON T. FISHER UNWIN LIMITED 1922 PREFACE THIS short study was written during my tenure of a Travelling Studentship from the National University of Ireland, and in March, 1920, was accepted for the Research Degree Certificate of Cambridge University. A glance at the bibliography shows that comparatively little has been written in English on this interesting period of our history. On the other hand modern Scandinavian scholars Alexander Bugge, Marstrander, and Vogt have thrown a good deal of light on the subject, but unfortunately very few of their books have been translated into English. The present dissertation is based principally upon the Old and Middle Irish annals and chronicles and the Icelandic sagas ; reference has also been made to the work of Scandinavian, English and Irish scholars on the subject. I should like to acknowledge my debt to Professor Chadwick, who directed my work : those who have had the privilege of working under him will readily understand how much is due to his encouragement and stimulating criticism. I wish also to express my thanks to my friends, Miss N. Kershaw and Mr. E. J. Thomas, for many kindnesses while the book in to Hull was preparation ; Miss Eleanor and Professor O'Maille, University College, Galway, for the loan of to books ; and the librarian and staff of Cambridge University library, the National library, Dublin, and T.C.D.

It is supplemented by a stage 1 Underwater Archaeological Impact Assessment of the site by the Archaeological Dive Company (ADCO). 14.2 Methodology 14.2.1 Record of Monuments and Places The Record of Monuments and Places (RMP), comprising the results of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland, is a statutory list of all recorded archaeological monuments known to the National Monuments Service. The relevant files for these sites contain details of documentary sources and aerial photographs, early maps, OS memoirs, the field notes of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland and other relevant publications. Sites recorded on the Record of Monuments and Places all receive statutory protection under the National Monuments Act 1994. The information contained within the RMP is derived from the earlier non-statutory Sites and Monuments Record (SMR); some entries, however, were not transferred to the statutory record as they refer to features that on inspection by the Archaeological Survey were found not to merit inclusion in that record or could not be located with sufficient accuracy to be included. Such sites however remain part of the SMR. The record is a dynamic one and is updated to take account of on-going research. The Record of Monuments and Places was consulted in the Archives of the Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.
