    <MeasureDescription>Mechanical/Physical: 
Hand pulling of Lagarosiphon major by divers for small areas of infestation. The removed plant material will be bagged and disposed.

Laying of jute matting (which is biodegradable) to cover beds of Lagarosiphon major where the infestation is more extensive.

The site will be monitored for re-growth from the shore line and through diving and infestations found will be treated according to the above methods as appropriate.
Indirect methods: Biosecurity actions will be put in place to  prevent further spread within and from the site.  This includes implementation of biosecurity guidelines such as check, clean and disinfection of all equipment and outerwear while undertaking eradication works and for users of the lake. Erection of biosecurity guidance signs around the lake and direct engagement with fishing rights owners, local anglers, local residents and other relevant stakeholder groups.

Reports informing eradication measures set: the eradication measures set are informed by previous control work undertaken in Ireland on Lagarosiphon major.  Details of the treatments can be read in the attached documents: Aquatic Invasions (2010) Volume 5, Issue 2: 123-129 and the 2013 CAISIE LIFE Final report.  </MeasureDescription>
    <SideEffects>Potential impacts of eradication works on the qualifying interests of the Special Area of Conservation will be identified and mitigated for if needs be. Further information on this will be provided once known.</SideEffects>
