Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Citizens' Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Jenny Deakin:

On occasion we can see some chemical impacts but the nutrients and sediments as well as the form and physical characteristics of the river channels would be the most important.
