River habitat restoration measures on the Glen River, in Carrick have been awarded a €40,921 grant from Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI).

The environmental works involve riparian corridor improvement and nature-based solutions to erosion on the Glen River to help sustain vulnerable salmon and sea trout stocks.

The project is one of 14 across the country aimed at restoring salmon and trout stocks and their habitats.

IFI’s Habitats and Conservation Scheme has awarded a total of €771,295 for 21 new environmental works in 2025.

Announcing the award recipients Minister of State for Fisheries and the Marine, Timmy Dooley TD, said: “This investment by IFI will finance vital projects that will help futureproof Ireland’s salmon and sea trout populations.

“Our migratory Atlantic salmon are in significant decline. The department and IFI are committed to supporting restoration efforts – working in partnership with our stakeholders to increase juvenile production of the species.

“This year’s Habitats and Conservation Scheme submissions demonstrate strong leadership in the stewardship of local rivers, reflecting a deep commitment to environmental responsibility.

“It’s heartening to see such positive community and stakeholder engagement in the applications.”
