East Atlantic SWAN Wave Model Significant Wave Height

SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) is a third-generation wave model which was primarily developed for use in coastal regions. The operational East_Atlantic model used to generate this dataset was an implementation of the SWAN model for Irish waters. The East Atlantic SWAN Wave Model dataset contains wave parameters output by this model, including: Significant Wave Height (m), Mean Wave Direction (degreesTrue) and Mean Wave Period (seconds). The East Atlantic model covers a portion of the eastern Atlantic ocean that stretching from Iberian Peninsula to Scotland. The horizontal resolution of the model grid is 0.025 degrees. Model data is available for the previous 30 days and 6 days into the future. The East Atlantic model is an operational model forced by operational atmospheric (GFS) and boundary (FNMOC Global Wavewatch 3 Forecast) forcing. The East Atlantic system provides a daily 6-day forecast. The East Atlantic model was run to forecast wave conditions in Irish waters in support of end-user services such as marine operational planning. The East Atlantic model was run by the Oceanographic Services team within Ocean Science and Information Services division of the Marine Institute (Ireland). Model produced daily output for the duration of the dataset.

Weather Buoy Network

The Irish Weather Buoy Network is a network of 5 weather buoys around Ireland. These weather buoys are moored surface buoys with instruments which collect weather and ocean data including air temperature, atmospheric humidity, sea surface temperature, sea temperature and salinity on moored chain, wave statistics and wind speed/direction. The Weather Buoys are located in marine waters around Ireland including M2 off Co. Dublin in the Irish Sea, M3 in the south-east off Co. Wexford, M4 in the northwest off Co. Donegal, M5 off the southwest coastline of Co. Cork and M6 in deep ocean 200 nautical miles west of Slyne Head Co. Galway. The first weather buoy was deployed in 2001 and the network added to in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006. There is, in addition, historical data from M1 between 2001-2007. The weather buoy platforms stationed at each node of the network are serviced once per year. The basis of operations is the Marine Institute technical support base located in Galway’s new dock. This is an onerous task as a freshly serviced and refurbished buoy and mooring are located on site, with the existing buoy being simultaneously recovered.  A wide variety of vessels are used ranging from the nations ships (RV Celtic Voyager and RV Celtic Explorer) to a variety of privately run vessels and crews. The Weather Buoy network has been established to improve predictive weather forecasting. The weather buoy project has consisted of a team drawn together under an MOU between Department Transport Tourism and Sport (DTTAS), Marine Institute (MI), Met Eireann and the UK Met Office. There have been incomplete data observations for periods when the weather buoys were offline for maintenance and or damage from adverse weather conditions such as storms.

National Coded Wire Tagging and Tag Recovery Programme

Up to 300,000 smolts (from various Irish hatcheries, including Burrishoole and wild fish from the Corrib river) are tagged annually and the data in relation to this tagging process is on file since 1980. 
The hatcheries involved are ESB facilitieson the Erne at Carrigadrohid,  Lee at Macroom, Shannon at Parteen . IFI facilities at Cong and Erriff,  Delphi Fishery hatchery at Delphi Connemara.  Wild salmon are released woth tags on the Corrib.  Ad hoc tagging takes place on the Foyle, Liffey and Boyne. 
The monitoring information (tagging and release information and information on individual fish recaptured in fisheries or broodstocks) is maintained in a relational database on the Burrishoole server.
Since the programme began in 1980, over 6 million salmon smolts have been tagged and released generating approximately half a million tag recoveries and information on individual salmon returns. It is estimated that in 2013 a total of 500,000 smolts will be released of which 300,000 will be tagged under the National Coded Wire Tagging and Tag Recovery Programme. There is now a long-term data series for these 10 rivers dealing with marine survival since 1980.  This is the longest time series of coded wire tag returns in any North Atlantic salmon producing country.

National Survey Finfish Farms

Sea lice are a naturally occurring marine parasite of fish. Over 500 species can be found on most fish types worldwide. Two main species affect salmon in Ireland, Lepeophtheirus salmonis (the salmon louse) and Caligus elongatus. Sea lice monitoring of finfish sites have taken place on licenced finfish aquaculture around Ireland. This sea lice monitoring programme has been in operation since 1991 and is widely regarded as international best practice. The purpose of the monitoring programme has been to evaluate the levels of sea lice on growing finfish so that information on a control strategy can be provided, by advising treatment if necessary. All stocks of fish have been inspected by Marine Institute Inspectors on 14 occasions throughout the year. The Marine Institute has carried out regular inspections of sea lice levels on all fish farms in Ireland in accordance with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine sea lice Monitoring Protocol (2000) and Strategy (2008). Results from the programme have been reported each month to stakeholders and all the data has been published on an annual basis. Data complete for each year since 1991.

Nephrops Underwater Television Survey Stations

Survey stations represent the locations where underwater television surveys have taken place during Nephrops Underwater Television (UWTV) surveys. 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. Areas surveyed for Nephrops burrows include the Aran Grounds, the Irish Sea, Celtic Sea and Porcupine Bank. Nephrops surveys occur annually since 2002. Burrows were surveyed using a standard underwater television camera deployed from the RV Celtic Voyager research vessel. Burrows were counted to support the calculation of the abundance and distribution of Nephrops in the areas identified for populations. Nephrops survey stations deployed by the fisheries science survey team of the Marine Institute (Ireland). Survey stations completed for all UWTV stations.

Burrishoole Long Term Ecological Monitoring of Lough Feeagh and Furnace

Phytoplankton are the autotrophic (self-feeding) components of the plankton community and a key part of oceans, seas and freshwater basin ecosystems. The name comes from the Greek words phyton, meaning plant and planktos, meaning wanderer or drifter. Most phytoplankton are too small to be individually seen with the unaided eye. However, when present in high enough numbers, some varieties may be noticeable as colored patches on the water surface due to the presence of chlorophyll within their cells and accessory pigments (such as phycobiliproteins or xanthophylls) in some species. This data collection activity includes sampling of phytoplankton within the Burrishoole catchment lakes Lough Feeagh and Lough Furnace. Phytoplankton has been sampled on a continuous basis since 2008. Phytoplankton has been collected via water samples and laboratory analysis. Phytoplankton has been sampled to support information and knowledge on the health of the catchment lakes ecosystem. Phytoplankton has been collected by the Newport catchment facility team of the Marine Institute. Dataset complete for the samples collected since the activity became operational.

Belmullet Seabed Habitats

The EUNIS habitat classification is a comprehensive pan-European system to facilitate the harmonised description and collection of data across Europe through the use of criteria for habitat identification. It is hierarchical and covers all types of habitat types from natural to artificial, from terrestrial to freshwater and marine.  This data collection activity covers the EUNIS habitat classification of seabed habitat types in marine waters near Belmullet Co. Mayo along the north-west coast of Ireland.  The data has been collected during the Irish National Seabed Survey (INSS) and INFOMAR seabed mapping programmes between 1999 and 2005. Data gathered via multibeam echosounder and seabed sampling data acquired during surveys were the primary sources of data used in the generation of this habitat map. The original sediment classes assigned to the data were translated to the harmonised European EUNIS habitat classification system as part of the MESH Atlantic project. Data collection and habitat map produced by the Advanced Mapping Services team within the Marine Institute. Data coverage 100% for the seabed surveyed area.
