Barriers identified by fisheries staff, and by targeted surveys of likely barrier locations based on desk studies of channel topography for this study. The locations of long-established barrier sites (four major hydro-electric schemes) for the Liffey, Lee, Shannon and Erne were not marked, although habitat upstream was identified as a non-self sustaining salmon channel. Barriers were identified for the 2003 wetted areas study.
