The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) of the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government (DEHLG) contracted ECOFACT to undertake catchment-wide surveys in selected river SACs designated for lampreys. To date, ECOFACT has completed lamprey surveys on the Moy, Boyne, Feale, Corrib and Suir catchments.
