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 …
The Marine Institute’s Malin Head Climate Station (55.371308°, -7.334328°) is the location of the longest running Sea Surface Temperature (SST) time series in Ireland and has been ongoing since 1958. This daily averaged temperature data product has been derived from a collection of measurements initiated by Met Eireann and continued …
These data resulted from a six-month study examining CH4 transport from the peatland-dominated catchment of Lough Feeagh, a dystrophic lake in Western Ireland. The campaign aimed to characterise the transport of methane from the headwaters of the Burrishoole catchment to Lough Feeagh. Water samples were taken from the rivers draining …
The Marine Institute’s Ballycotton Climate Station (51.828133°, -8.000802°) hosts a Sea Surface Temperature (SST) time series that began with deployments between 2010 and 2012 but has been in continuous operation since 2016 (there is a gap in the data in 2023/2024 due to sensor failure). The SST time series is …
The Marine Business dataset presents a spatial breakdown of companies categorised across the thirteen industries defined in Ireland’s Ocean Economy Report series. To enable spatial analysis, businesses have been georeferenced to their corresponding electoral divisions (EDs) and joined with the 2022 Central Statistics Office (CSO) electoral division boundaries, as provided …
