DHLGH Foreshore Offshore Renewable Energy Data

licence locations related to potential offshore renewable energy related
infrastructure, and current offshore renewable energy project locations.</span></i></p><p></p><p>The extent of state owned foreshore is normally defined to
landward by the High Water Mark as shown on the OSI Historic 1888-1913 25 Inch
mapping (<a href='https://webapps.geohive.ie/mapviewer/index.html' rel='nofollow ugc'>https://webapps.geohive.ie/mapviewer/index.html</a>

).</p>

<p>The Foreshore Act 1933, as amended, requires that a lease or
licence must be obtained for any activity on State-owned foreshore, which
represents the greater part of the foreshore. The Act provides for the issuing
of licences or leases which are in the public interest. A lease relates to
buildings or other structures and is generally used for a development that
requires exclusive occupation of the foreshore. A licence is generally issued
for a development or activity that does not require exclusive occupation of the
foreshore and moorings also fall into this category. Each application is the
subject of a range of detailed statutory assessments. Details on Foreshore
applications are available at <a href='https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/f2196-foreshore-applications-and-determinations/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/f2196-foreshore-applications-and-determinations/</a></p>

<p>Please note that a foreshore licence for site investigation
activity related to a potential Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) infrastructure
project is just a survey of an area of foreshore to ascertain suitability for
possible ORE physical infrastructure in the future. Such a licence does not
result in permanent physical infrastructure being placed on the foreshore. With
regards to the ORE physical infrastructure (arrays, cables, etc.), a separate
application, directly related to such infrastructure, would be required and
would undergo a robust application process, including public consultation.</p>

<p>Clicking on a polygon’s Web Link launches the relevant page
of the Foreshore website that provides the full suite of relevant application
information including the various statutory assessment material. The current
status of the application is also noted.</p><i><span style='font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; color:#4C4C4C; background:white;'></span></i>

Inshore boat-based cetacean Survey 2012

A single platform line-transect survey using distance sampling was carried out off the north coast of Ireland on 9 August 2012. Sea conditions were excellent throughout the survey with 100% of survey effort carried out in sea-state ≤3 and 63.5% in sea-state ≤1. A total of 178 km of track-line was surveyed in 654 minutes (10.9 hrs). Five acoustic events were logged during the survey: three harbour porpoise records and one each of common dolphin and Risso’s dolphin. All acoustic events were recorded concurrent with visual sightings. Thus most (77%) of the harbour porpoise sightings and all minke whale sightings obtained during the survey were not detected acoustically. A total of 33 sightings were recorded comprising 158 individuals among five marine mammal species, which suggests good species diversity in the area at this time of year. These included 11 harbour porpoise sightings, one sighting of a large group of common dolphins, two sightings of Risso’s dolphins and six sightings of single minke whales.

Inshore boat-based cetacean Survey 2010

Concurrent visual and acoustic surveys for cetaceans were carried out within three survey blocks along the western seaboard of Ireland (Northwest – Block A, west – Block B and southwest – Block C) to investigate species distribution, relative abundance and absolute abundance where possible.
Single platform line-transect surveys were carried out in each survey block between July and October 2010. Distance sampling was used to estimate the density and abundance of common dolphins (Delphinus delphis), within two survey blocks. A towed hydrophone was used to survey acoustically along the track-line.
During the three surveys, 450 km of survey effort along 33 track-lines was carried out, of which around two-thirds was performed in sea-state ≤3. A total of 92 sightings comprising 528 individuals of at least six species were recorded. With 63 sightings of 458 individuals, common dolphins were by far the most abundant cetacean species recorded. There was a total of seven sightings of 12 harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) recorded, 10 sightings of 12 grey seals (Halichoerus grypus), two sightings of single minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata), one sighting of eight bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and one sighting of two killer whales (Orcinus orca). Six sightings with a total of 67 dolphins were not identified to species level.

Bathing Water

The Quality Of Bathing Water In Ireland 2006 
Summary: Bathing water quality has generally improved over the past decade. In 2006, 97% (127 of 131 sites) were compliant with the mandatory standards specified in the EU Bathing Water Directive.

The European Union has prescribed mandatory and guide standards for the protection of public health. Results collated by the EPA for the 2006 bathing season show that the quality of bathing water in Ireland is very good with 97% (127 of 131 sites) of bathing areas complying with the mandatory standards specified in the EU Bathing Water Directive.
