This month, we have been lucky enough to observe the various stages of larval development of Freshwater Pearl Mussels, Margaritifera margaritifera We are running a captive breeding program in collaboration with NPWS and Moorkens and associates These are stage 4

Yesterday, @david-smyth-eco.bsky.social showed me around the @irishwoodlandtrust.bsky.social's new 80-acre reserve, including about 30 of Atlantic rainforest, Coill Sheanadh Gharráin near Spiddal, Galway. No words could do justice to the magic of the place. I was awestruck.

Surface water temperatures on Lough Feeagh (west coast of Ireland) have been pretty high this year! Daily temperatures in May above the 99th% on most days. 🥵🌡️💦

So exciting to see the first of our 2024/2025 cohort of Freshwater Pearl Mussels starting to drop off their salmon host. We are working with NPWS to breed this endangered species at the Marine Institute’s hatchery in Newport, Co. Mayo @marineinst.bsky.social @philkeena.bsky.social

We have been quantifying sediment accumulation in Lough Feeagh for 20 years- today we replaced our bashed up old traps with some shiny new ones, designed by Joe Cooney and built by a local metal worker Martin Forrestal. Hope they’ll last another 20 years!!! #BurrishooleLTER @cathdalt.bsky.social

There's something absolutely tragic about the #Brigid's light atop the historic Hill of Allen, seat of Fionn MacCumhaill, shining out over the Kildare countryside, while metres away Roadstone have quarried away our collective heritage. I will never understand how this was allowed

Interesting points to consider in this thread. We in Ireland don’t know how lucky we’ve been to have a temperate climate with little extreme weather. Until recently…1/-

Hi Sapna @sapnasharma.bsky.social, winter limnologists I'd like to share the current ice condition of Lake Suwa. Unfortunately, the lake has not frozen, with only partial freezing. The monitoring by priest keeps until Feb 3. This pic is Omiwatari observed in 2018. www.yomiuri.co.jp/national/202...

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
