| Abstract: | Some 130 years ago, a small estuary to the north of Dublin was partly cut off from the sea by a railway causeway. The mudflats that formed became an important feeding ground for wildfowl. In recent years the estuary has become subject to increasing organic pollution. Algal growth has increased and while the situation is not yet damaging to wildfowl, there is evidence that further increase in nutrients would cause undesirable extension of algal mats in the estuary. |
