The @opwireland is currently dredging the River Nanny in Tuam, Co Galway, during the statutory salmonid close season. Silt pollution was observed yesterday - and the source was investigated. This is a spawning tributary of the Lough Corrib SAC (thanks to 'Tuam in Picture').

The Skibbereen Flood Scheme earlier this week; brutally channelized river and concrete flood walls - but a nice sign about bees. This sums up Ireland's approach to the biodiversity crisis. Parts of the town also flooded after this hard engineering scheme.

drivers II: you can verify this by looking at aerial images of Ireland. most green areas are fields resown in agricultural grasses, dark green areas commercial plantations of North American conifers, and brown areas cutover bogs or sheep-grazed mountain. little else is left

Warning: Don't drive around west cork if you are inclined to succumb to eco-anxiety. #CAP Basic farm payments drive habitat destruction. I'm starting to document this to counteract the otherwise feeling of helplessness! #biodiversitycrisisireland
