Client: National Parks and Wildlife Service

In the period 2021-2024, BEC Consultants will be carrying out a four-year project monitoring the three species of whorl snail (Vertigo spp.) that are listed on Annex II of the EU Habitats Directive. The target species are Vertigo angustior, Vertigo geyeri and Vertigo moulinsiana. A total of 60 sites will be surveyed during the project and the results will form the basis of Ireland’s reporting under Article 17 of the Habitats Directive, with National Conservation Assessments being prepared in line with the 6-year reporting cycle.
