Endangered Species

This project will monitor the recovery of exploited deep-water species following the decline of the deep-water fisheries in Irish waters.

This project aims to evaluate, reduce and eliminate interactions with endangered and protected species and habitats in the project area and will involve key stakeholders directly in that process.

All native oyster beds are within Natura 2000 sites and there are specific conservation objectives for oyster habitat (national need and implementation of Habitats Directive). The project will support the development of management plans, measures and restorative actions for oyster beds in these areas.
