Newry Canal<br />

The Newry Canal water body was designated as artificial within new water body<br />

boundaries defined in 2009. A desk top study was carried out by the NIEA<br />

Freshwater Monitoring <strong>and</strong> Assessment Hydrology teams. The UKTAG mitigation<br />

measures spreadsheet was completed <strong>and</strong> a moderate ecological potential concluded<br />

due to the presence of hard bank protection which has reduced the marginal <strong>and</strong><br />

riparian habitat, <strong>and</strong> locks <strong>and</strong> weirs along the canal without proper fish passage.<br />
