DOE NIEA Standing Fresh Water Monitoring of Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Areas Special Scientific Interest (ASSI) (Second Round). P_12324

This report was commissioned by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) and provides an assessment of the conservation status of selected water bodies within Northern Ireland. A total of 72 water bodies were surveyed, all of which were surveyed as part of the Northern Ireland Lakes Survey (NILS) (1988-1992). Nineteen of the 72 sites were surveyed in 2006 by ENSIS Ltd. as part of a similar round of assessments throughout Northern Ireland (Goldsmith et al., 2008).
