Documentary - Control of Aquatic Invasive Species and Restoration of Natural Communities in Ireland
CAISIE Project was an EU Life+ funded initiative co-financed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service and co-ordinated by Inland Fisheries Ireland. The project commenced in January 2009 and concluded in January 2013. One of the outputs of this project was this short documentary about the threat posed to inland fisheries in Ireland by invasive species and the work of CAISIE which aims to find a range of control, containment and eradication strategies.
