During 2018, we delivered 19 school education events engaging with 611 pupils. The education programme works to highlight the importance of our precious drinking water resources and outlines how we can all work together to help protect water quality across our shared catchments. The education programme consists of five interactive learning units which schools can work through one by one or pick and choose to suit their learning needs. A mixture of Activity Workbook exercises supported by educational talks combined with experiment and design based learning activities bring the water environment to life for our young budding scientists. An educational activity booklet has been developed which includes five different units. Additional details of the education programme are available on our project website at: https://www.sourcetotap.eu/learn/ Community Engagement during 2018 The community engagement aspect of the Source to Tap project has also been busy during 2018. The project has attended 4 agricultural shows, including the Balmoral Show, held 8 roadshow events, completed 8 ‘Get to Know’ your catchment events and organised 3 Riverfly training days.

  • Appendix 11B Freshwater Fish
    A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 3 – Appendices APPENDIX 11B FRESHWATER FISH Certain freshwater fish are significant nature conservation receptors for the Proposed Scheme for the following reasons: Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, allis shad Alosa alosa, twaite shad A. fallax, river lamprey Lampetra fluviatilis, brook lamprey L. planeri and sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus are listed on Annex II to the Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (the Habitats Directive). A site that is considered to be of significance to any of these species may be designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC); The abundance, composition, and age class of freshwater fish, are biological components of the surface water/ecological status of a watercourse classified under The Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC (WFD); The water quality variables of a watercourse enable classification under The Surface Waters (Fishlife) (Classification) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1997 (as amended), with the classification identifying the species composition most likely to be present or potentially supported; and Some fish are Species of Conservation Concern (SoCC) in Northern Ireland (NI) and Priority Species under the UK post-2010 Biodiversity Framework (former UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP)). These include European smelt Osmerus eperlanus, Atlantic salmon, brown trout Salmo trutta, European eel Anguilla anguilla; river lamprey, brook lamprey and sea lamprey. Legislation Some national and European legislative frameworks give legal protection to certain fish species. The most significant of these is Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (the Habitats Directive), which makes provision for the protection of certain habitats and species, listed in Annex II to the directive, through the designation of SAC for sites that will make a significant contribution in the conservation of the habitats/species.

  • Appendix 16C Baseline Data
    A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 3 – Appendices APPENDIX 16C BASELINE DATA Surface Water Designations There are a number of areas in close proximity to the proposed route which support important habitats and wildlife, including areas requiring special protection under national or European legislation. A number of these designated sites are dependent on the quality of the water environment and are detailed in Table 16C.1 Table 16C.1 Designated Sites Dependent on the Quality of the Water Environment Name Basis of Designation River Foyle & Tributaries The SAC is designated for its habitats of plain to montane levels with the Ranunculion SAC fluitantis and Callitricho-Batrachion vegetation and the largest population of Atlantic Salmon in Northern Ireland (15% of the estimated national spawning numbers). The river is notable for the physical diversity and naturalness of the banks and channels, especially in the upper reaches, and the richness and naturalness of its plant and animal communities. The presence of otter is a subsidiary qualifying feature. River Finn SAC The River Finn SAC is located adjacent to the River Foyle & Tributaries SAC, within the same watercourse, comprising the designated area on the Republic of Ireland side of the border. The SAC is designated for its habitats of Oligotrophic Waters, Wet heath, Blanket Bogs, Transition Mires, as well as its Atlantic Salmon and Otter species. The northern section of this site also comprises the River Foyle, Mongavlin to Carrigans Proposed Natural Heritage Area (pNHA). McKeans Moss ASSI The most north-western example of lowland raised bog in Northern Ireland. The intact bog surface exhibits a well defined dome with characteristic vegetation and structural features, including hummock and lawn complexes and small shallow pools.

Introduction 5 Overview of salmon rivers in Northern Ireland and the cross border Foyle and Carlingford catchments 11. Current status of salmon habitat 22. Processes to identify and designate key habitat areas or issues 28. Activities and approaches to share and exchange information on habitat issues and best management practices between relevant bodies 32. Work undertaken and planned to protect, restore and enhance salmon habitat 52. Overview of ongoing habitat activities 56. References 57. Annexes 3 DCAL[NI] – FEBRUARY 2009 I. INTRODUCTION Northern Ireland‟s Atlantic salmon management strategy (NASCO Implementation Plan) was finalised in February 2008. The Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) has overall policy responsibility to ensure implementation of the strategy and took the lead in the preparation of the Fisheries Management Focus Area Report submitted in March 2008. The current management approach and proposed actions to implement the NASCO resolutions and agreements pertaining to the protection, restoration and enhancement of salmon habitat are set out in the strategy. This describes that several different government departments and/or their agencies have responsibilities in this regard. A review of this approach and an in-depth assessment of measures that contribute to: Protection of the current productive capacity of the existing physical habitat of Atlantic salmon; and Restoration, in designated areas, of the productive capacity of Atlantic salmon habitat which has been adversely impacted, has, therefore, required inputs, and collation of information, from DCAL, the Agri- Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI), the Loughs Agency, the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD).

The ERDF budget for the overall INTERREG project is EUR 359 million. The Environment theme will receive a proportion of this. The purpose of this document on the Derg catchment is to demonstrate information available to help with project proposals for river restoration schemes and integrated catchment management actions (including groundwater). It will demonstrate the wide range of information currently available within the NI Environment Agency (NIEA) and ROI Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for each catchment (using the Derg as an example). This will save applicants duplicating studies already completed while suggesting types of information they can collect. It will provide information on the failing elements for parts of the system. There is pressures information to guide how improvements may be progressed to meet WFD objectives. In addition there are impact assessments to guide how improvements may be progressed to meet WFD 2023 result indicator targets for INTERREG V.
