as part of the Galway County Development Plan 2022-2028. </span></p>

<p style='text-align:justify;'>The sea is a dominant factor in
the determination of landscape character in the Atlantic Region of Galway.
Views to and from the sea and adjoining coasts are a material consideration in
land use planning. </p>

<p style='text-align:justify;'>The geology of Galway has
resulted in an interlacing of marine and terrestrial areas in much of the
western part of the county. The majority of the county’s coastline comprises of
sea loughs, where sheltered, shallow tidal bays stretch inland. These gradually
join with the fine-grain patterns of freshwater lakes and stream systems that
also occur throughout the county’s Coastal Region<span>. </span></p>

<p style='text-align:justify;'>The following are the main types
of seascapes. Each are defined by their relationship between the land and the
sea:</p><p style='text-align:justify;'></p><ul><li><span style='text-indent:-18pt;'>Fully
Enclosed Coast This Seascape type includes shorelines that are adjacent to
marine or transitional water but have no view of the ocean horizon. Landscape
Character of adjoining lands will be dominant. Sea loughs are common throughout
Atlantic Galway.</span></li><li><span style='text-indent:-18pt;'>Semi-enclosed
Coast This Seascape type includes shorelines that are adjacent to marine or
transitional water which have no more than a 50% view ocean horizon.</span></li><li><span style='text-indent:-18pt;'>Open
Coast This Seascape type includes all sea areas for a distance of up to 5km off
shore with a view which is at least 50% ocean horizon. Views from these waters
will feel that the land is the dominant feature.</span></li><li><span style='text-indent:-18pt;'>Offshore
This Seascape type includes all water between the edge of the Open Coastal
Waters boundary (5km from the shore) and the Open Sea boundary (20km from the
shore). Views from these waters will feel that the sea is the dominant feature.</span></li></ul><p></p><p style='text-align:justify;'><span style='text-indent:-18pt;'><br /></span></p><p style='text-align:justify;'><span style='font-family:&quot;Avenir Next W01&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next W00&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Avenir, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:16px; text-align:start;'>Galway County Council provides this information with the understanding that it is not guaranteed to be accurate, correct, or complete.

County Galway Landscape Sensitivity Ratings CDP 2022 2028

<p style='margin-bottom:0cm; text-align:justify;'><span style='color:black; background:white;'>Galway County Landscape
Sensitivity Ratings. Produced as part of the Galway County Development
Plan 2022-2028. </span></p>

<p style='margin-bottom:0cm; text-align:justify; background:white;'><span style='color:black;'>A landscape’s capacity to
absorb new development, without exhibiting a significant alteration of
character or change of appearance is referred to as it’s ‘sensitivity’. This
depends on factors such as elevation, slope, as well as the types of land-cover
and soil. Landscape sensitivity increases when one or more of these factors
occur in the same place. e.g. development on a steep heather-covered elevated
site on shallow soils is highly likely to be visually prominent over a wide
area Arising from this analysis the following Sensitivity Ratings have been
defined.</span></p><p style='margin-bottom:0cm; text-align:justify; background:white;'></p><ul><li><span style='color:black;'>Class 1 – Low</span></li><li><span style='color:black;'>Class 2 – High</span></li><li><span style='color:black;'>Class 3 – Special</span></li><li><span style='color:black;'>Class 4 – Iconic</span></li></ul><div><span style='font-family:&quot;Avenir Next W01&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next W00&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Avenir, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:16px; text-align:start;'><br /></span></div><div><span style='font-family:&quot;Avenir Next W01&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next W00&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Avenir, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:16px; text-align:start;'>Galway County Council provides this information with the understanding that it is not guaranteed to be accurate, correct, or complete.

Deployment of Argo Float ARVOR 6901934 August 2020

The Argo Float 6901934 was deployed on 31/08/2020 at 70.9297 N, 14.3567 E. The most current measurement was taken on 09/06/2023. The autonomous floats drift on the ocean currents for 10 days at 1000 m before diving to its profiling depth of 2000 m, taking ocean property measurements of temperature and salinity on its ascent to the surface. These two essential climate variables describe the oceans' physical and thermodynamic state. Once surfaced the data are transmitted via satellite. Marine Institute floats used ARGOS communications until 2017, and moved to Iridium communications in 2018 allowing for more information transmitted at faster rates with a two-way communication to the float. The Iridium communication means the float surface times are between 15-30 minutes instead of hours using ARGOS communication. The data are accessible online at Erddap (https://erddap.marine.ie/erddap/tabledap/argoFloats.html) and https://argo.ucsd.edu/data/. The Marine Research Infrastructures team operate and manage Ireland's contribution to Argo -  a global array of autonomous floats or profilers, deployed across the world's oceans, reporting subsurface ocean water properties to a wide range of users via satellite transmission links to data centers.  
The Argo array is an indispensable component of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) required to understand and monitor the role of the ocean in the Earth’s climate system, in particular the heat and water balance.  The International Argo programme currently has a network of approximately 4,000 Argo floats taking measurements in the world’s oceans and is integrated into the Copernicus programme and the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). The Euro-Argo European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), which Ireland is a member of, aims to sustain 25% of Argo International’s global fleet autonomous floats.

South Rockall Trough Sub-surface Mooring Deployment  from April 2022 - May 2023

Deployment of a sub-surface mooring at South Rockall (52° 59.94' N, 15° 31.16' W) from the RV Celtic Explorer survey CE22008 on 26/04/2022. Recovered on 11/05/2023 by the RV Celtic Explorer survey CE23009. The purpose of this activity is to collect data to help understand the variability in the water column not visible at the surface and provide context to CTD profile data collected in the South Rockall Trough. These data are vital in understanding the likely impact of future ocean climate scenarios on key marine sectors as well as understanding possible impacts on ecosystem in the North East Atlantic Ocean.
