National Barrier Mitigation Programme Dashboard

Inland Fisheries Ireland’s National Barrier Mitigation Programme (NBMP) is working to reconnect Ireland’s rivers by mitigating and removing man-made barriers that impact fish migration, water quality, biodiversity, and hydromorphology. The National Barrier Mitigation Programme Dashboard aims to track the status of barrier mitigation projects across Ireland, which could be managed directly by the NBMP or in collaboration with other agencies, and to present this information to the public. The dashboard features an interactive map that displays the geographical distribution of active and recently completed projects. Each point represents a barrier location, symbolised by project phase. Clicking on a point will display a pop-up window that contains specific information and project details relating to that barrier location. Indicators and gauges display the current number of active projects; the number of barriers within those active projects, and mitigations completed since 2024 - the year of the NBMP's establishment. A number of charts display the breakdown of barrier types, sizes and the active project phases. The charts can also act as filters to manipulate the data and map view. The National Barrier Mitigation Programme Dataset will be frequently updated and will be made available on IFI's Open Data Portal. Map contains data produced by the Environmental Protection Agency.
