Data includes annual species richness and abundance (river macro-invertebrate). Data geographical coverage is 16 sites across the Newport facility Burrishoole catchment. Data on macro-invertabrates has been collected since 2003. Samples have been collected in the environment and counted in the Newport biology laboratory and maintained up-to-date. Macro-invertebrate monitoring supports understanding of the Newport Burrishoole catchment ecosystem status. Data has been collected by the Newport facility team within the Marine Institute (Ireland). Data sampling complete since 2003. Incomplete coverage pre-2003.2018-12-07T22:20:15.539240+00:00https://data.gov.ie/dataset/9fa4452c-2e98-40db-94fd-070dbeeeec41Nephrops Underwater Television Survey Functional Units2024-02-26T01:54:52.908081+00:00Marine InstituteNephrops Functional Units represent geographic area management and reporting units for Nephrops Underwater Television (UWTV) surveys. The Irish Functional units 30 divisions were based on ICES Statistical Rectangle boundaries. The prawn (Nephrops norvegicus) are common around the Irish coast occurring in geographically distinct sandy/muddy areas were the sediment is suitable for them to construct their burrows. Nephrops spend a great deal of time in their burrows and their emergence from these is related to time of year, light intensity and tidal strength. Functional units include the Aran Grounds, the Irish Sea, Celtic Sea and Porcupine Bank. Functional units for reporting purposes were created in 2002. Functional units created from merging existing ICES Statistical rectangles. Functional units created to support area management and reporting of the Nephrops shellfish marine resource. Nephrops Functional Units created by the fisheries science survey team of the Marine Institute (Ireland). Functional units completed for Nephrops UWTV reporting purposes.2018-12-07T22:20:46.828017+00:00https://data.gov.ie/dataset/03164327-96d4-4f55-a59f-082e9a6f592fCeltic Explorer Underway2024-02-26T01:54:54.465127+00:00Marine InstituteData from the underway system includes observations and measurements of meteorological (e.g. air temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, wind speed and direction) at 10m above sea level and oceanographic (e.g. sea surface temperature/salinity) at approximately 3m below surface at a per minute rate. Data has been collected in survey areas including the greater North Atlantic Ocean, Irish Sea, Saint Georges Channel, Celtic Sea, North Sea and Inner Seas off the West Coast of Scotland. Geographic coverage also includes areas around Newfoundland Canada. Data has been collected since the launch of the RV Celtic Explorer in May 2003. Underway near-surface measurements of sea temperature are typically made using the cooling water intake of a vessel using a thermosalinograph. Underway data collection has been initiated to create a long-run time series of sea surface temperature supporting knowledge and information on the physical oceanographic conditions of waters where the RV Celtic Explorer has undertaken marine surveys. Weather station data collected to support knowledge on meteorological conditions at sea. Data collection activity on-board Irelands largest national marine research vessel Celtic Explorer operated by PO Maritime Services on behalf of the Marine Institute. Data is not 100% complete for every research day of vessel activity due to technical issues with underway instrumentation. Coverage estimated at >95% research days at sea.2018-12-07T22:20:22.147443+00:00https://data.gov.ie/dataset/ebf23376-a25e-4fe9-ab5c-a29ffd18f961Contaminants in sediments in the marine environment2024-02-26T01:54:56.694333+00:00Marine InstituteMarine sediment is considered any deposit of insoluble material, primarily rock and soil particles, transported from land areas to the ocean by wind, ice, and rivers, as well as the remains of marine organisms, products of submarine volcanism, chemical precipitates from seawater, and materials from outer space (e.g., meteorites) that accumulate on the seafloor. This data collection activity covers baseline, geographical and temporal trend monitoring of heavy metals and chlorinated hydrocarbons in sediments from the marine chemistry monitoring programme. Data for sediments covers foreshore and offshore areas around Ireland and in the North Atlantic Ocean between Ireland and Canada. Sediment sample stations have been collected since 1992. Contaminants in sediments monitoring has been undertaken by the Marine Chemistry team of the Marine Environment and Food Safety Services (MEFSS) section of the Marine Institute.

The Irish Groundfish Survey covers fisheries trawl stations in the North Atlantic Ocean, Celtic Sea, Irish Sea and Saint Georges Channel around Ireland. The Irish Groundfish Survey has been a two-legged survey taking place each October-December since 2003. Irish Groundfish Survey involved shot and haul stations at regular sites where fish species are caught and processed on board the Irish research vessel RV Celtic Explorer in the fisheries lab. The primary goal of the Irish Groundfish Survey has been to develop estimates of juvenile abundance for important fish species. Measurements of the abundance of juvenile fish are a critical measure of the health of a stock, serving as an annual indication of recruitment (the number of newly spawned fish which enter the population each year) success or failure. Most importantly, they allow forecasting of future commercial abundance. In addition, the Irish Groundfish Survey provides data on the distribution and biology of commercial and non-commercial species of ecological interest, as well as hydrographic and environmental observations. When these data are combined with annual recruitment indices they have helped identify the possible causes driving year-class success or failure, and allowed fisheries scientists to see long-term changes in populations that may have been caused by fishing, pollution, or climate change. The Irish Groundfish Survey feeds into the International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS) for international reporting. The Irish Groundfish Survey has been managed by the Fisheries Ecosystem Advisory Services (FEAS) section of the Marine Institute (Ireland). Data complete for each year survey has taken place.2018-12-07T22:20:26.355663+00:00https://data.gov.ie/dataset/5b216d9f-7b9d-43c9-b0de-e93ec5914e1fNephrops Underwater Television Survey Functional Units Statistical Rectangles2024-02-26T01:55:00.847116+00:00Marine InstituteThe prawn (Nephrops norvegicus) are common around the Irish coast occurring in geographically distinct sandy/muddy areas were the sediment is suitable for them to construct their burrows.

These predominant habitat typologies broadly correspond to EUNIS level 2 habitat typologies. This supported the process of mapping existing habitat types (evidence based and predicted) to the CSWP PHT classification by means of data re-engineering.
The PHT layer has been derived from, Evidence based data source (EMODnet sediment and substrate)
Predicted habitats data source (Predicted EUNIS habitats (2008 MESH model)
In areas where neither evidence nor predicted data was available, a depth proxy was created using INFOMAR bathymetry.
When viewing the PHT habitats layer, the Predominant Habitat Confidence should be also be used as reference as this provides the user with a means to establish the data source underpinning the derived PHT habitat type per polygon.2018-12-07T22:21:10.817710+00:00https://data.gov.ie/dataset/13af7fef-4ef8-4dde-9fa1-72c1663e3983Lighthouses2024-03-28T06:01:38.870850+00:00Marine InstituteThis feature class shows the location of Lighthouses around Ireland. The Commissioners for Irish Lights are responsible for the superintendence and management of all aids to marine navigation around the coast of Ireland and its adjacent waters.
There are 80 lighthouses around the coast of Ireland. They were originally built to aid ships travelling on dangerous waters, and are still used today by mariners to determine position and safe courses. All the lighthouses are now automated, the Bailey in Co. Dublin being the last to be manned until 1997.2020-01-14T15:37:09.815917+00:00https://data.gov.ie/dataset/eeb83500-b83f-4aeb-ab38-fdb6b30f6ab3Annual Average Power Flux kW (Power per each wave)2024-03-28T06:01:40.819589+00:00Marine InstituteAnnual Average Power Flux Kw measures the average power within each wave from the Irish Wave Energy Resource Atlas.2020-01-14T15:37:14.263496+00:00https://data.gov.ie/dataset/9a767001-158a-4571-a455-a0f03f406eeaAnnual Average Hydro Energy Megawatt (MW) Hour2024-03-28T06:02:35.162881+00:00Marine InstituteAnnual Average Hydro Energy in MegaWatt Hours off the Irish coastline in Electricity generation potential as calculated by the ESBI Pelamis model for the Irish Wave Energy Resource Atlas 2005.2020-01-14T15:39:16.066392+00:00https://data.gov.ie/dataset/8c36a948-8212-4d9c-9ad8-a0616330620aCommercial Port2024-03-28T06:03:34.516559+00:00Marine InstituteThe locations of Commercial Ports around Ireland.

The new Irish Conservation Box (ICB) or Irish Biologically Sensitive Area will replace the old Irish Box, a 50-mile, protected fishing zone around the Irish coast.
The ICB is smaller than the old Irish Box, but extends further south. A major feature of the zone is that it follows the 200m contour on its western side and is based on the conservation box that was established to protect juvenile hake in 2001 as part of the northern hake recovery plan.
The waters around Ireland contain some of the most important spawning and nursery areas for commercial fish stocks in the North - East Atlantic. These include:
· major spawning areas for mackerel, horse mackerel and blue whiting off the west coast
· major spawning areas for hake, megrim and herring off the south coast.
· very important nursery areas for herring, haddock, hake, whiting and megrim in the shelf waters off the south and west coasts
The biological sensitivity of the waters around Ireland has been clearly demonstrated by international scientific surveys of adult fish, juveniles and fish egg distribution.
They show a clear picture of the importance of Irish coastal waters as fish spawning and nursery areas. This information formed an integral part of the case made by Ireland on the biologically sensitive nature of the seas around Ireland.2020-01-14T15:48:28.342560+00:00https://data.gov.ie/dataset/3765430c-8197-4340-bca7-19c5e42a348bAnnual Averge Wave Height2024-03-28T06:07:54.550505+00:00Marine InstituteAnnual Average Wave Height off the Irish coastline in metres as calculated by the ESBI Pelamis model for the Irish Wave Energy Resource Atlas 2005.2020-01-14T15:49:35.319092+00:00https://data.gov.ie/dataset/67bf1856-8cef-49d1-a962-96b8bb8bf6d5Navigation Beacons2024-03-28T06:08:16.418705+00:00Marine InstituteThis feature class shows the location of Navigational beacons around Ireland.
