Ireland once again in the dock, for issues that @antaisce.bsky.social & SWAN have long highlighted as being legally problematic. Amongst other serious issues, this judgement highlights that the arterial drainage act is not compliant with the WFD. Time to give that archaic legislation the boot!

Sustainable Water Network (SWAN)@swanireland.ie · 10mo ago

BREAKING: EU's top court has ruled that Ireland has widespread non-compliance with EU's main water law e.g. a lack of regulation on physical damage to our waters, & poor monitoring & control of water abstractions. We face daily fines & further decline if not fixed. swanireland.ie/2025/11/land...

The answer to last week's demonic mystery object:

Friday mystery object #525 answer

Last week I gave you these specimens that are new to the Dead Zoo to have a go at identifying: Image taken by Jamie Maxwell, 2025 These are specimens that were lodged in the collection as part of research identifying them as a new invasive alien species to Ireland. Adam Yates and Chris Jervis both worked out which invasive this happens to be, and it's a bad one.

A strong message at #GuardIAS Conference by #IUCN: the new European IAS Rapid-Response Fund is gearing up to hit early invasions fast. With flexible grants, expert networks, and peer learning, it empowers teams across Europe to act before #IAS take hold.

As outlined here by Marianela Araya Quesada, we need to address invasive alien species, a major driver of biodiversity loss, if we are to meet our nature restoration, conservation and species diversity targets. #BioInvasions #Biodiversity

Investigation after more than 30 acres of native trees - some centuries old - felled in Co Cork. At a time when a nationwide Nature Restoration Plan is being drafted we still see rare habitats being destroyed, often with very little consequence #RestoreNature share.google/SwJgX0EsIFYN...

It's 17 years since I've been on the beautiful Lough Carra, and the unusual white marl that gives the water a distinctive turquoise look is sadly looking very green now on foot of nutrient pollution. Another treasure being slowly lost to us all.
