Mixed results for Lough Sheelin. The invasive starry stonewort now occupies over 100ha! The aquatic shrimps are still mostly native but new records for Gammarus pulex and G tigrinus. Survey supported by @meathcoco @westmeathcoco @cavancoco @NPWSIreland @ucdscience @UCDSBES

Unfortunately this is what's happening to our freshwater habitats in Ireland. Invasive demon shrimp displacing our native shrimp. This is an unprecedented shift. Survey supported by @NPWSIreland @DeptHousingIRL @longfordcoco @GalwayCoCo @roscommoncoco @ucdscience @UCDSBES

Surveys for the invasive Demon shimp continues on the Shannon River and it's tributaries. Essential information on this aquatic invader gained through support from @LimerickCouncil @TipperaryCoCo @NPWSIreland @DeptHousingIRL @ucdscience @UCDSBES

Our lakes in Ireland are changing quickly. Invasive species are changing how these ecosystems work altering nutrient cycling and carbon dynamics. The Demon shrimp and quagga mussels are very recent invaders. @NPWSIreland @ucdscience @UCDSBES @DeptHousingIRL @GalwayCoCo
