“Wild salmon connect wild mountains to the sea, their presence or absence a verdict on how humans value, treat and manage the world. Wild salmon are the measure; when they go missing, it signals that things are completely out of ecological whack.“
By me, for @irishtimes.com
I always get a bit worried when I don't see dippers in the River Bride for a while. I would often see and hear them at Blackpool Bridge and Orchard Court. They are sensitive to pollution and water quality is declining year on year according to the EPA. #cork

Judicial review was the only way of fighting the plan to slab over our river. It wasn’t easy. We had to sell T-Shirts and art & crowd fund. There was plenty of stress. But we were right. The state was wrong. Now they are trying to make it harder to challenge them when they are breaking the law.

Sandmartin brood this morning. I feel justified in photographing this active nest as it is just one of many in the area that would be destroyed if a proposed OPW flood scheme were to proceed in Blackpool. The scheme plans are now ten years old. Photographed using an ultra zoom lens. #cork

What happened on the river Glyde in June is not a local incident. It is a national emergency
A conference is taking place in Dublin on Thursday 11th to highlight a MASSIVE threat to Irish nature.
Judicial Reviews have been a critical means for local communities to challenge wrongful, damaging environmental decisions, but they're going to be severely restricted by legislative changes.
