Trophic role of small cetaceans and seals in Irish waters
… marine mammal species that regularly occur in Irish waters was investigated by reconstructing diet using hard parts from digestive tracts and scats. Of the species examined, two (striped and Atlantic white-sided dolphin) can be considered offshore species or species inhabiting neritic waters, …

Antimicrobial activities and diversity of sponge derived microbes
In this study, marine sponges collected in Irish waters were analysed for their associated microbiota. Of the approximately 240 bacterial isolates obtained from two sponges several showed antimicrobial activity; among them members of genera which have rarely been shown to produce antimicrobial …

Ecotoxicology of marine biotoxins in bivalve shellfish
… identification of these latter two toxins in Irish waters. The effects of the DSP toxin okadaic acid (OA) were investigated on three shellfish species: Mytilus edulis, Ruditapes philippinarum and Crassostrea gigas. Histological examination of the gill, mantle and hepatopancreas tissues …

Developing a cost-effective monitoring strategy for coastal cetaceans
… the most commonly detected cetacean in Northern Irish waters exhibiting a persistent, but non-uniform distribution. The temporal distribution of this species, monitored in the western Irish Sea and off the north coast of County Donegal, varied across seasons consistently, peaking in winter, while …

Electrochemical materials and microfabrication for sensor devices
… Nitrate detection covered ranges found in Irish waters, employing nitrate reduction to nitrite in a pH-optimised acidic media, with minimal interference from most other species found in drinking water and a defined sensor lifespan when stored oxygen-free. Lactate detection relied on the …

Aspects of the biology of Mya arenaria and Ensis spp. (Mollusca; Bivalvia) in the Irish Sea and adjacent areas
… cycle and health status, of two clam taxa in Irish waters, with particular reference to the Irish Sea area. Monthly samples of the soft shell clam, Mya arenaria, were collected from Bannow Bay, Co. Wexford, Ireland, for sixteen months, and of the razor clam, Ensis spp. from the Skerries region …

Assessing the distribution and vulnerability of a seabird community at sea to inform conservation and management
… at the community level. The large territorial waters of both countries also provide significant prospective marine fossil fuels and renewable energy. Therefore, there is the potential for detrimental impacts to seabird populations where hotspots of seabird density overlap with marine energy …

A geospatial economic analysis of hydrogen production from offshore wind using electrolysers
… is used to construct a LCOH map and applied to Irish waters. The area off the west coast has more robust wind resources than the east coast. However, the east coast has shallower water depths and seaports that are more convenient. Nearshore areas suitable for cheaper foundations can produce …
