Zebra mussels sign, Antrim
The non-native zebra mussel first appeared in Lough Neagh in 2005. The Habitas website describes them thus: “Ecological impacts are varied and unpredictable. Zebra mussels change nutrient cycles, filter out phytoplankton which forms the basis of the food chain, increase water clarity and increase plant growth around lake margins. They reduce the amount of zooplankton, an important fish food. Colonies of zebra mussels change the habitat of other invertebrates and they attach to native mussel species causing their local extinction. Changes in fish populations can also occur as zebra mussels colonise spawning grounds, change habitat and food sources.”

Former coal barge, Antrim
See Image One of the former barges used to bring coal to Belfast gasworks was converted for use in dredging for sand in Lough Neagh. After a long period of disuse it has been restored and will, eventually, become an “interpretive centre” at Ram’s Island. For the record the barge carried the number JK16. For the present it is berthed in the Sixmilewater at Antrim. Continue to Image
