Barnstable Western Bypass - Fisheries Impact Study

Client: Halcrow
Project Dates: April 2005 - May 2005

Project objectives:
A new road is being constructed across the Tor Estuary in north Devon. This involves the installation of a temporary (18 month) causeway across the estuary mouth.

Poseidon services provided:
Poseidon are assessing the impact of the causeway development on the fisheries, in particular the migratory salmonids. This includes evaluating the effects the works might have and how these might be mitigated through design amendments or operational practises.
