Norovirus impact on shellfish waters.
Norovirus comes from human sources so urban waste water and stormwater overflows are the key
significant pressure where there are impacts.
A targeted approach is needed and will need to reflect future higher standards.
NTIG discussion on the scale and type of technical characterisation work needed to identify the sources of norovirus in the catchments of the impacted waters.
LAWPRO are proposing a detailed characterisation in the catchment of the Clarinbridge Shellfish area where there are issues.
