Life Below Water
Whats the Goal?
To conserve and sustainably use the world’s ocean, seas and marine resources.
The Centre for Freshwater & Environmental Studies (CFES) is an active and vibrant research centre within the School of Health & Science in DkIT. The CFES engages in inter- and multi disciplinary research that investigates environmental issues and evaluates effective solutions. CFES researchers contribute significantly to progress on SDG 14 via its Water, Communities and Catchment and Environmental Education research themes. The centre is currently involved in a number of large-scale projects that are addressing complex cross-disciplinary issues that have a regional, national and international focus, with projects funded under PEACEPLUS and the Interreg
NWE programmes.
The centre also facilitates undergraduate research and undertakes educational and outreach activities while providing relevant scientific information for government agencies, policymakers, communities and other interested parties. Part of the centre’s philosophy includes the belief that collaborative studies involving the participation of a number of interested parties add to the effectiveness of research and development. The CFES is currently undertaking research with Teagasc, the National Federation of Group Water Schemes (NFGWS), the Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO) TU Delft, Liege University, Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) and French Inland Waterways (VNF).
