About the event

From the pollan — a rare glacial relict found only in Ireland — to iconic species like eel, dollaghan, and trout, discover how these fish contribute to the natural balance of the lough and sustain its rich fishing heritage. This talk will explore their ecological importance, the challenges they face in a changing environment, and their enduring cultural and economic significance to the region.

This event is part of our series of online winter talks, taking place from January to March 2025. The talk is free for Ulster Wildlife members and costs £3 for non-members. All proceeds will support our efforts to bring nature back across Northern Ireland. Please note tickets are non-refundable.
