| Description | |
| Summary | A spatial survey of Larne Lough at 7 stations on 29 occasions between Jan 1997 - July 1998 was completed to determine the trophic status of Larne Lough. In addition nutrient inputs to the lough were calculated and mathematical modelling used to evaluate the effectiveness of management options. |
