CE0303 Fisheries Irish Groundfish Survey

This winter cruise forms part of the Groundfish Survey programme which is an annual 6 week fish trawl survey held in the 4th quarter of the year that has an essential aim to examine the composition and abundance of fish species in the waters surrounding Ireland. This major survey is undertaken by the Fisheries Science Services division and data is made available to the ICES DATRAS (DATabase TRawl Survey) database available from ICES.  This cruise took place in the waters off the west coast of Ireland. Survey the abundance and distribution of target demersal fisheries species in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Floating LiDAR System at AMETS A - metlidar Data

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) has funded the deployment of a Floating LiDAR System (FLS) at the Atlantic Marine Energy Test Site. In July 2025 Green Rebel successfully deployed the FLS at site A, where it will remain for up to three years. The FLS is equipped with a range of sensors that measure parameters associated with wind, current, waves etc. Green Rebel are responsible for the installation, operation, maintenance, data collection, telemetry and subsequent decommissioning of the FLS and provide SEAI with the data collected. On behalf of SEAI, the Marine Institute hosts, preserves and serves the data as part of the existing Master Service Agreement.

This dataset comprises of measurements taken by an Airmar 200WX Weather Station (attached to the ZX300M LiDAR), measuring wind data (speed and direction), atmospheric pressure, temperature and GNSS coordinate. S/N = 60942117
 
Data is collected on a daily basis by Green Rebel and submitted through quality control checks, including: Instrument level filtering, Consistency checks, Data and system availability assessments, Common time stamping and synchronisation, and FLS structure impacts removal. Data is then averaged at 10-minute intervals for reporting purposes.

Byra Spatial Risk Assessment (ByRA) Outputs – Seabirds in the Celtic Sea

The Byra Spatial Risk dataset represents outputs from a habitat and species risk assessment conducted within the Celtic Sea as part of the Marine Beacon Project. The dataset integrates seabird abundance data and fishing effort layers to produce maps of bycatch risk. Outputs are designed to support ecosystem-based management, particularly identifying areas of high risk. The primary purpose of this dataset is to evaluate and visualize spatial patterns of  risk to seabird species in the Celtic Sea, integrating fisheries data, and species distributions to inform spatial–temporal management planning.

Ireland's MSFD Marine Reporting Units (MRU)

Ireland’s Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) assessment area is subdivided into ecologically meaningful spatial units known as Marine Reporting Units (MRUs). These units serve as the basis for evaluating indicators and conducting integrated assessments of marine environmental features, tailored to specific MSFD descriptors. A total of 24 MRUs have been delineated, encompassing Ireland’s full MSFD area, including the 12 nautical mile Territorial Sea limit, merged Water Framework Directive (WFD) coastal waterbodies, and national components of regionally defined assessment units under OSPAR. These include areas relevant to descriptors such as contaminants, sea-floor integrity, food webs, and offshore eutrophication, as well as designated shellfish waters. The MRU framework ensures spatial consistency and ecological relevance in national and regional marine environmental reporting.
