    Brief

    This procurement seeks a specialist to conduct a comprehensive survey of aquatic plants in marl lakes and turloughs located in the Burren region of County Clare and south-east Galway, Ireland. The survey aims to improve documentation of aquatic plant species in these sensitive habitats and to identify rare species, particularly Nitella tenuissima, to better understand their ecological needs. The work will include revisiting previously studied sites from documented research (Roden et al. 2020, Goodwillie 1992, and others) as well as exploring unmapped smaller lakes and pools. Surveyors should have expertise in aquatic botany and may also assess related freshwater habitats such as karst streams and rivers within the study area. Ideal candidates will have experience with rare plant identification, wetland ecology, and field survey methodologies.
