Scope of the procurement
Estimated total value: 605 000 EUR 💰
Short description:
NPWS is currently managing and regulating a large programme of works related to peatland restoration, as well as the conservation management of river, callow, turlough and coastal dune ecosystems. This has led to the need for additional hydrological expertise to aid in the design of management plans and to assess plans and measures developed by other agencies. In addition to this, the conservation status of ecosystems is under increasing threat from pressures related to development, pollution, climate change and other pressures. Hydrological expertise is required to ascertain the linkages between habitats and surrounding areas, and advise on mitigation and remedial management options.
Show more
Concurrent with these work programmes has been the expansion of NPWS’s ecological monitoring work plans that incorporate ecohydrological flows (water levels, runoff and quality related to ecosystems) and greenhouse gas monitoring from peatland, coastal and aquatic ecosystems (flux chamber and eddy covariance monitoring), via NPWS and European Union funded projects. This is to assist Ireland in meeting its international and national legal obligations in terms of nature conservation and climate action.
