What is STRIVE?
STRIVE is the Environmental Protection Agency’s programme for Science, Technology, Research and Innovation for the Environment and it covers the period 2007 to 2013.
In 2007, the EPA STRIVE funding call for Water Quality and the Aquatic Environment resulted in a successful submission by lead organisation Queens University Belfast, to set-up the ‘Alien invasive species in Irish water bodies’ project. The project was sub-dived into three work packages:
- Policy development
- Aquatic invasive species impacts and control
- Mapping and recording
The STRIVE project will address the knowledge gap identified under the Water Framework Directive for alien invasive species in Ireland’s River Basin Districts and produce a monitoring and reporting strategy.
