Otters Lutra lutra are protected under both UK and European legislation, they are also listed as a Northern Ireland Priority Species. Because of their habitat preferences, they are particularly vulnerable to impacts from developments near waterbodies. To ensure compliance with the law, an otter survey may be required prior to the commencement of construction projects.
We can produce otter surveys in accordance with NIEA specifications and expert advice relating to otter ecology. We have a wealth of experience both developing and assessing appropriate mitigation measures for otters ensuring that your project can run smoothly and stay within the law.
