IBIS Book Published Online

13 May 2015

It was with a flurry of excitement that the IBIS Book "70 Years of Applied Science Supporting Marine and Freshwater Management" was launched at the IBIS conference on May 13th in Newry. This book is the culmination of four years work by 35 researchers, working on 38 separate project topics, representing 70 person-years of research activity.

The research goal for IBIS was to investigate a wide range of topics where a robust research study was likely to inform policy management. The research topics came from a broad range of organisations and individuals who gave up their time to contribute to developing research ideas and, in many cases, to help direct research projects once they were running.

In the book we provide an accessible summary of this research activity and encourage you to delve deeper into our research through the expanded reports available on line. Many studies have resulted in highly innovative, exciting and valuable insights into our aquatic environments, the plants and animals that live there and how we manage them.
