The ROMS (Regional Ocean Modeling System) hydrodynamic model is run for a domain that covers the Irish waters in the northeast Atlantic. The model has a mean horizontal resolution of 1.9 km and 40 terrain-following vertical layers. The system produces a best estimate of the ocean state once a week …
# SUPERSEDED - The version has been superseded. And a new edition is now available under the Atlas of Commercial Fisheries around Ireland, Fourth Edition, 2024. This atlas provides a series of detailed maps of commercial fishing activity around Ireland with the aim of providing insights into fishing activities and …
Where agricultural measures are needed to restore water quality, the Subbasin are highlighted with one or more coloured flags to indicate the types of water quality issues associated with that Subbasin: Red (potential point source), Orange (nitrate losses) and/or Navy (phosphorus/sediment losses).
This dataset contains a raster file showing the approximate marine areas that provide food. This dataset is part of a dataset series that establishes an ecosystem service maps (national scale) for a set of services prioritised through stakeholder consultation and any intermediate layers created by Environment Systems Ltd in the …
This shapefile contains the river waterbody typologies in Ireland and are specific to the assessment of water abstractions. The criteria for categorising river type are based on UK research that examined the impact of abstractions on river and lake ecology and have been adapted for use in Ireland.

The Lehanagh Met-Ocean buoy is part of the Sentinel sites and is located in Bertraghboy bay, Connemara, County Galway. Initially installed in May 2024, sensors have been deployed for the measurement of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids, chlorophyll a, phycoerythrin and depth. In addition, a weather …
