A plan to address the decline in wetland birds around the shores of the Lough is underway.
Lough Neagh Partnership has identified a number of action points.
One of the major tasks identified will be to restore large areas of wet grassland habitat for breeding birds.
Gerry Darby who is co-ordinating the development and implementation of the plan says the mapping process of identifying management issues for areas around the Lough has now been completed.
"It is important to continue working with people on the ground to develop and agree management solutions on how the shoreline can become more favourable for wintering and breeding birds, as its condition improves, and at the same time attract more investment into the local farming economy," he adds.
If you are a landowner or farmer on the shores of the Lough and are interested in becoming involved, please contact Gerry Darby in the Lough Neagh Partnership offices Tel: 028 7941 7941 or email:darby.gerry@gmail.com.
