Pilot Project
Ballymartrim Tributary Innovation Pilot
The CALM project is delivering an innovation pilot on the Ballymartrim tributary to address multiple sources of river pollution. The pilot brings together scientific monitoring, habitat restoration, and nutrient management strategies to improve water quality and strengthen ecosystem resilience within the catchment.
Upcoming Events & Workshops
CALM’s events and workshops bring together communities, partners and specialists to share knowledge, showcase practical action and encourage local involvement across our catchments. From river restoration days and citizen science training to guided site visits and each event supports informed engagement and collaborative environmental improvement.
More events are on the way. Check back soon for upcoming CALM events and activities.
Water Quality Monitoring
Monthly updates from Ulster University provide evidence-based insight into the ecological condition of monitored catchments. Each update includes a narrative summary and supporting charts, with previous reports archived automatically to ensure consistent, transparent reporting over the life of the programme.
