BSc (Hons) Zoology
After studying Zoology in UCD I worked for several years with the Irish Marine Institute to manage a network of fisheries monitoring stations around the country.
In 2001, I began an environmental consultancy company based in Dublin. Since the early days the company has grown and now conducts and advises on lake surveys throughout the country, including, for the first time, mapping Ireland’s highest and deepest lakes.
I have also had the opportunity to manage water quality monitoring programmes and provide advice to national organisations on Irish inland fisheries stocks. Our company is now coordinating a programme to re-introduce species of fish to lakes in the East of Ireland that were wiped out by acid rain pollution in the 1980s.
