Resumen

Abstract Pop-up archival tags (n = 16) were deployed on Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT) off the west coast of Ireland in October and November 2016 (199–246 cm curved fork length), yielding 2799 d of location data and 990 and 989 d of depth and temperature time-series data, respectively. Most daily locations (96%, n = 2651) occurred east of 45°W, the current stock management boundary for ABT. Key habitats occupied were the Bay of Biscay and the Central North Atlantic, with two migratory patterns evident: an east-west group and an eastern resident group. Five out of six tags that remained attached until July 2017 returned to the northeast Atlantic after having migrated as far as the Canary Islands, the Mediterranean Sea (MEDI) and the Central North Atlantic. Tracked bluefin tuna exhibited a diel depth-use pattern occupying shallower depths at night and deeper depths during the day. Four bluefin tuna visited known spawning grounds in the central and western MEDI, and one may have spawned, based on the recovered data showing oscillatory dives transecting the thermocline on 15 nights. These findings demonstrate the complexity of the aggregation of ABT off Ireland and, more broadly in the northeast Atlantic, highlighting the need for dedicated future research to conserve this important aggregation.

Resumen

This article presents the results of multi-scalar investigations into the Later Bronze Age (LBA; 1500–600bc) landscape of Inishark in County Galway, Ireland. The European LBA along the Atlantic coast was characterized by the development of long-distance maritime exchange systems that transformed environmentally marginal seascapes into a corridor of human interaction and movement of goods and people. Archaeological survey, test excavation, and radiocarbon analysis documented the LBA occupation on Inishark. The communities living on Inishark and other small islands on the western Irish coast were on the periphery of both the European continent and of the elite spheres of influence at hillforts in Ireland; yet they were connected to the Atlantic maritime exchange routes. A focus on small coastal islands contributes to a better understanding of LBA socioeconomic systems and the development of social complexity in Bronze Age societies.

Resumen

Infestation patterns of Caligus elongatus on farmed Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout were investigated at several sites along the west coast of Ireland. Parasite abundances were examined in relation to host species, farm location and season. Differences were found in the relative prevalence of infestation between salmon and rainbow trout. Caligus elongatus generally contributed more as a proportion of the total lice burden on rainbow trout than on Atlantic salmon. Evidence of possible parasite transmission from wild fish stocks was found at a number of sites where marked seasonal changes in parasite abundance were observed. A wide size distribution of adult female Caligus elongatus was found at a number of sites.

Resumen

Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus L.) were sampled by pelagic trawl over the Porcupine Bank to the west of Ireland between 52°N and 54°N at peak spawning time, between 27 May and 10 June 1992. Distribution of juveniles (age classes 1 and 2) was inversely related to depth, comprising over 90% of hauls close to the coast of Ireland and 20% of the catch on the Porcupine Bank. Egg production increased westwards and was high along the continental shelf edge. Adult spawning fish were found throughout the shelf area and beyond, into waters over 3000 m deep. The results indicate that mackerel spawn over deep water some distance from the shelf edge and may exploit oceanic food resources from deep water.

Resumen

AbstractThe new lichen species Lecidea phaeophysata is described from rocks close to the coast in Italy, Portugal, France and Ireland. Distinguishing features include Porpidia-type asci and simple paraphyses that are fuscous brown pigmented in their upper section. Its systematic position is discussed but is unclear as molecular data are lacking (all collections are c. 20 years old). Therefore, we chose to describe the species in a broadly-circumscribed Lecidea rather than erecting a new monotypic genus. A key to saxicolous lecideoid lichens present on Atlantic coasts in Europe is also provided.

Resumen

Abstract. The island of Ireland is battered by waves from all sides, most ferociously on the west coast as the first port of call for waves travelling across the Atlantic Ocean. However, when discussing ocean events relevant to the nation of Ireland, one must actually consider its significantly larger designated continental shelf, which is one of the largest seabed territories in Europe. With this expanded definition, it is not surprising that Ireland has been subject to many oceanic events which could be designated as "extreme"; in this paper we present what we believe to be the first catalogue of such events, dating as far back as the turn of the last ice age.

Resumen

An operational model for an area of the northeast Atlantic that encompasses all of Ireland’s territorial waters has been developed. The model is an implementation of the Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) and uses operationally available atmospheric and boundary forcing, and a global tide solution for tidal forcing. River forcing is provided by climatological daily discharge rates for 29 rivers across Ireland, west Britain, and west France. It is run in an operational framework to produce 7-day hindcasts once a week, and daily 3-day forecasts which are published in a number of formats. We evaluated the model skill by comparing with measured data and calculating statistics such as mean error, root mean square error (RMSE), and correlation coefficient. The observations consist of satellite Sea Surface Temperature (SST), total surface velocity fields from satellite, water level time series from around the Irish coast, and temperature and salinity data from Array for Real-Time Geostrophic Oceanography (ARGO) and Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) profiles. The validation period is from 1 January 2016 until 31 December 2019. The correlation coefficient between the model and satellite SST is 0.97 and recorded in March and April 2018. The model error is about 5% of the total M2 amplitude in the Celtic Sea recorded at Dunmore East tide gauge station. The maximum RMSE between the model and the CTD temperature profiles is 0.8 °C while it is 0.17 PSU for salinity. The model correctly defines the shelf water masses around Ireland. In 2019 the Irish Coastal Current (ICC) was very strong and well defined along most of the western Irish coast. The model results have well reproduced the ICC front for the whole simulation period.

Resumen

The validity of Pseudocuma gilsoni B|cescu 1950 has been questioned in the past. The recent discovery of material in Irish waters, and in the North Sea, confirms the presence of the species in the North East Atlantic and provides the opportunity to present a full redescription. A new genus, Monopseudocuma, is erected to accommodate the species. A neotype is designated from the West coast of Ireland.

Resumen

For over five decades the identity of a pink-flowered bindweed (Calystegia) with a broadly rounded leaf sinus from the coast of West Wales has been subject to debate. Initially it was thought to have American origins, but it was subsequently treated as C. sepium subsp. spectabilis, a taxon thought to have genetic links to the Far East. Additional finds of other plants on western coasts of Britain and Ireland, and their similarities to a North American subspecies of C. sepium also having a broadly rounded leaf sinus now supports the original suggestion of inheritance from a trans-Atlantic drifted migrant.

Resumen

Zooplankton assemblages were examined from waters off the west coast of Scotland encompassing the Firths of Lorn and Clyde, the North Channel, and the Malin Shelf. Size fractionated samples (coarse, >1000μm; medium, 1000μm-330μm; fine, 330μm-180μm) were collected with a submersible pump from 10m and 30m depth in March (1987) and May (1986) providing a composite picture of the fauna in early and late spring conditions, respectively. The feasibility of using image analysis as a method for processing zooplankton samples was examined. Although a programme was successfully operated to obtain individual measurement data, much work is still required before a fully automated programme for routine use by planktologists is available. Total zooplankton numbers and biomass, and species distributions and relative abundances were examined. Species assemblages were identified using multivariate analyses. Biomass and abundance spectra by size were examined for the major station groupings. In general, meroplankton dominated the fauna in the Firth of Lorn while large numbers of Calanus spp. occurred in the Firth of Clyde. Small copepods such as Oithona spp. were characteristic of the assemblage on the Malin Shelf. Salinity, followed by temperature, showed the strongest association with the observed station clusters. Chlorophyll a and depth did not generally appear to influence station groupings. The potential for the mixing and exchange of zooplankton between the regions of the study area was evaluated. The results suggest that zooplankton may be entrained from the Firth of Clyde by the Scottish Coastal Current during the spring period. The Malin Shelf may also be an important source of zooplankton for the Firth of Lorn during winter months when an onshore flow of Atlantic water occurs.

Texto completo

Resumen

This thesis examines the entangled relationships of humans, waves, and the wider nonhuman environment in surfing. It is based on an ethnographic study of surfing along the Atlantic coast of Ireland, and also on how these communities are tied to a global surfing imaginary via online magazines, digital swell forecasts, and international travel. The argument at the core of this thesis is that surfing describes a collection of practices which transforms humans into channels for Oceanic energy. This becoming is both what allows the human body and technology to make lives as surfers in the littoral environment, and also produces the practical context whereby Irish terrestrial sociality is transformed into Irish surfer sociality with its own rules, hierarchies, and environmental understandings. The thesis departs from established tendencies in anthropology, geography and popular literature to theorise the coast as a liminal/peripheral space that is distinct from 'everyday' life and in which social norms are relaxed, transformed or perhaps even absent. Instead, I develop an alternative ecological analysis of Irish surfing using surfers' own concepts which examines how surfing practice refigures the coast as the centre of certain human lives while at the same time blurring conceptual and physical boundary lines which separate land, littoral and ocean. By going beyond a strictly materialist approach to examine the energies which animate material relations, the ecological explanation developed herein argues that an anthropological explanation of surfing social relations benefits from a thorough understanding of the various ways that people become affectively tied to environments through practice.

Resumen

Kevin Barry is a short story writer, novelist, dramatist, and editor, with Olivia Smith, of Winter Papers, an annual anthology of contemporary Irish writing. His work is steeped in music, film, and television, and echoes with their influence. Underpinning this is an attachment to writers like Dermot Healy and John McGahern, both novelists whose importance to a writer like Barry makes all the more sense from a coastal, and an archipelagic, perspective. His binding theme is disappointment and his lyricism is braided into the tragic perspective his characters, and his narrators, have of the human condition, which is for the most part a tilting balance between anxiety and drink. These edgy narratives are often set in wet weather by the sea and as so often in this book, the coastal margin operates as a hydroscape in which the boundaries between innocence and experience fragment and shift.

Resumen

The idea of other islands on farther shores resides deep in the traditions of Irish literature and goes back to phases of mythology, exploration, and odyssey. In the modern period this dispersal has happened from economic necessity, which has depended in turn on innovations in the technology of travel. The transit overseas was shaped by Ireland’s traumatic historical experiences, and this complex panorama is background to many works of Irish literature, both historical and contemporary. At the same time, an interest in the sea crossings that were the bridge between Ireland and its emigrants’ destinations is a subject in itself, as are the many port cities into which these temporary mariners filtered on disembarkation. This chapter reads versions of the sea-crossing to New York in fictions of Joseph O’Connor, Joseph O’Neill, and Colum McCann, all of whose works suggest the idea of the Atlantic as a place of continual transit.

Resumen

The introduction establishes the context for the book by describing the literary, critical, and historical contexts for its readings of Irish coastal literature from the late nineteenth century to the present. It describes the recent history of critical discussion of water and the sea in relation to literature globally, and connects this history to connected projects in the Irish and British archipelago, establishing how this book is interested principally in the many moments of transition between land and sea that occur in Irish literature. It proceeds by tracing the various and changing ways in which the coast, the sea, and the ocean have shaped the operations of a series of interconnected literary and visual works that radiate from the island’s shores. The collective presence of these hydro-cultures invites a different perspective on literature and history that complements the comparative study of Ireland in four nations, Atlantic, and oceanic histories.

Resumen

Abstract.—The Northeast Atlantic contains one stock of spiny dogfish <em>Squalus acanthias </em>(also known as spurdog), which has been in decline since the 1960s. Landings reached a peak of 55,600 metric tons (mt) in 1963; 24 years later they had fallen to 44,600 mt and 12 years after that to 9,800 mt. The last phase of steep decline commenced in 1987 and coincided with heavy landings from mainly the Celtic Seas of which Ireland took a substantial share in a gill-net fishery off its southwest coast. At first the Irish gill-net fishery harvested predominantly female and pregnant spiny dogfish but the characteristics of the landings rapidly changed.

Resumen

The Atlantic world became Britain’s main early imperial arena in the seventeenth century. Subsequent to Ireland, North America and the Caribbean were the most important zones of British settler colonialism. At the northern limits of settlement, around the Atlantic coast, the St Lawrence River, the Great Lakes and on the shores of the Hudson Bay, cod fisheries and fur-trading networks were established in competition with the French. This intrusion, while it had profound effects on the indigenous population, was comparatively constrained. Secondly, British settlements were founded in colonial New England from 1620. Expanding agrarian communities, based largely on family farms, displaced Native Americans, while the ports thrived on trade and fisheries. In the hotter zones to the south, both in the Caribbean and on the mainland, slave plantations growing tropical products became central to British expansion. Following in Spanish footsteps, coastal Virginia was occupied in 1607 and various Caribbean islands were captured from the 1620s: Barbados in 1627, and Jamaica in 1655. The Atlantic plantation system was shaped in part by environment and disease. But these forces cannot be explored in isolation from European capital and consumption, or the balance of political power between societies in Europe, Africa, and America. An increase in European consumer demand for relatively few agricultural commodities—sugar, tobacco, cotton, and to a lesser extent ginger, coffee, indigo, arrowroot, nutmeg, and lime—drove plantation production and the slave trade. The possibility of providing these largely non-essential additions for British consumption arose from a ‘constellation’ of factors ‘welded in the seventeenth century’ and surviving until the mid-nineteenth century, aided by trade protectionism. This chapter analyses some of these factors and addresses the problem of how much weight can be given to environmental explanations. Plantations concentrated capital and large numbers of people in profoundly hierarchical institutions that occupied relatively little space in the newly emerging Atlantic order. In contrast to the extractive enterprise of the fur trade, this was a frontier of agricultural production, which required little involvement from indigenous people. On some islands, such as Barbados, Spanish intrusions had already decimated the Native American population before the British arrived; there was little resistance.

Resumen

This chapter maps the diverse coastal cultures of Irish literature through the periodicals of the mid-century, moving from The Bell, to Atlantis, the Honest Ulsterman, Poetry Ireland, and others. When Seán O’Faoláin began The Bell in 1940 he faced severe challenges of war, partition and economic distress, which had fragmented his audience and stunted his resources. It begins with a description of O’Faoláin’s childhood upbringing in the port city of Cork and follows the diverse ways in which the sea, and its fringes, shaped literature and criticism in a period of rapid cultural transition. Populated by a diverse cast of writers, artists and adventurers including Elizabeth Bowen, Peadar O’Donnell, Robert Gibbings, and Claire McAllister, this chapter winds from the Lee to the Seine by way of the Wye in its mapping of mid-century archipelagic cultures.

Resumen

By about 3700 BC every region of the study area had been settled by farmers (Fig. 3.1), although there must have been local differences between the areas that were colonized by immigrants and those where the indigenous population had changed its way of life. The expansion of agriculture would extend little further and, when it did so, it would be mainly a feature of Fennoscandia. In some of the regions discussed here farming had already been practiced for between a thousand and fifteen hundred years. That was certainly true in the Rhineland, the southern Netherlands, and parts of France, but in other areas it had been adopted only recently. Such was the case in the northern Netherlands, Jutland, Britain, and Ireland, but by the period considered in this chapter the process was virtually complete. Not only did these parts of the study area have different histories, there were significant contrasts in the roles played by local monuments. For the most part such structures were not a feature of the earliest Neolithic period, although even here there were significant contrasts. In the Rhineland, the earthwork enclosures of the LBK were associated with the last settlements in that tradition, and in certain cases may even have taken the place of houses that had been abandoned. In Brittany, on the other hand, the first stone monuments seem to be closely related to the oldest evidence of farming. There was a significant difference between developments in those two regions. From the beginning, the LBK had been associated with enormous longhouses, but on the Atlantic coast of France early settlers may not have occupied such impressive structures. Here stone monuments, especially menhirs, could have been erected from the outset. A similar contrast was found in other regions studied in Chapter 2, but it is even more apparent in the phase considered now, for this was a time when enclosures and mounds were built at an increasing pace. There is little evidence of houses except in Scandinavia, Ireland, and the Northern Isles of Scotland.

Resumen

Northwest Europe is not immune to tsunamis. More than 8,000 years ago, Mesolithic people had found a good life following the retreating glaciers and settling the new land rich in flora and fauna. Britain was joined to mainland Europe, and people lived in an area of flat land called Doggerland. And then two things happened: The sea level began to rise rapidly—far more rapid than today—and the Storegga submarine landslide off the coast of Norway produced a region-wide tsunami that can be traced as far as Greenland, western Ireland, and southern England. This was the beginning of the end for Doggerland. In 1701, an English professor interpreted Plato’s Atlantis as being Doggerland, not some mythical Mediterranean paradise destroyed by Santorini’s eruption. However, like so many academic ponderings, it was buried deep in obscurity. This chapter brings this story back to life.

Resumen

Recent studies have revealed a long history of large waves around Ireland, which can be attributed to persistent strong winds in this area. At the same time, due to the consistently high levels of wave energy, the West Coast of Ireland has attracted a lot of interest as a prospective site for deployment of wave energy converters (WECs) farms. The design of such devices, and in fact of any offshore installation, depends crucially on the knowledge of extreme sea states they will experience during their deployment time. With this in mind, an Extreme Value Analysis incorporating seasonality and accounting for long-term trends was performed, based on a 29 year hindcast for Ireland. The hindcast was performed using the WAVEWATCH III wave model in a 3 nested grid setup, with the largest grid covering the North Atlantic basin and the finest resolution grid (10km) focusing on Ireland. The model was forced with ERA-Interim 10m winds from the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts. The wave model was validated by comparison to buoy data from the Irish Marine Data Buoy Network. The analysis was performed on the entire fine resolution grid. This affords a characterisation of the spatial variability in extremes both along the coast and with depth gradients. This is of interest in many marine applications, and in particular WEC design and deployment. Indeed, in the nearshore, wave energy levels can be similar to those found in the offshore. This, in conjunction with the diminished risk of extreme sea states, makes nearshore areas attractive for future ocean energy sites.

Resumen

This paper presents the results of a weather window analysis of wave data from the west coast of Ireland and the Atlantic coast of Portugal in order to quantify the levels of access to ocean energy renewables, which may be deployed there, for operation and maintenance activities. In order to operate and maintain offshore marine renewables, a device will have to be accessible for a certain period of time. This will require a weather window consisting of a consecutive period of wave heights low enough and long enough for the device to be accessed. It is important to quantify what the levels of access are off the Irish west coast and Portuguese Atlantic coast given their high wind and wave resource. Wave data from two wave buoys, the M3 buoy located 56km off the west coast of Ireland and the Leixoes buoy located 19km off the Portuguese coast, are analysed to quantify the levels of access that exist. The data is used to quantify the general regimes at both sites by presenting the wave energy resource, the mean annual exceedance and the wave height frequency at both sites. The levels of access are quantified at operations and maintenance (O/M) access limits of Hs 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5m wave height, by presenting the number of windows and the percentage of the year that these windows make up as well as the total number of hours, monthly and annual, that the wave heights are below these limits. Also presented are the waiting periods between windows by showing both the longest individual waiting periods between windows in a year and also the total intervals between windows in a year. The levels of access observed off Ireland and Portugal are then compared to levels of access observed at other marine renewable locations, namely the North Sea, Irish East Coast and Pacific North-western US coast. The results indicate that the levels of access off Ireland and Portugal are far below those observed at other marine renewable locations, and at the lower wave height access limits, there are very few suitable weather windows and considerable winter waiting periods between these windows. The implications of these low levels of access suggest that maintaining wave energy converters, off the west coast, may not be feasible and devices will need to be brought ashore for O/M activities.

Resumen

Abstract Despite the abrupt fall in crude oil prices since 2014, operators continue to explore for, and develop, oil and gas resources in some of the most challenging offshore environments. Exploration and development drilling is currently ongoing or planned in locations such as West of Shetland, offshore Eastern Canada, along Ireland’s Atlantic margin, in the South Atlantic Ocean and offshore South Africa. All these locations are characterized by the challenges of deepwater, powerful ocean currents and high seas. With the lower oil price environment, carrying out drilling operations at these locations both safely and economically requires the adoption of new digital technologies and associated processes that maximize efficiency and reduce the cost of well programs. A significant aspect of this relates to planning and execution of operations involving the marine drilling riser, which can be a major contributor to non-productive time in deepwater and harsh environment locations. This paper describes a holistic approach to addressing this challenge, which covers every phase of riser operations for the drilling program, from pre-operations global riser analysis through to post-operations assessment. The paper focuses on the technology that enables this holistic solution, with emphasis on the state-of-the-art riser management technology that is deployed on the drilling vessel. This uses an advanced finite element model of the riser, BOP stack, wellhead, conductor, casing and soil interaction as well as a detailed model of the riser tensioning system. The same model is used in both the pre-operations global drilling riser analysis phase and the operational drilling phase to ensure consistency. Incorporation of the model provides the capability to perform forecast analysis on-board the rig, allowing offshore personnel to simulate a range of operations hours and days in advance using forecast metocean conditions, thereby assessing the feasibility of critical well construction operations before they commence. Capabilities for real-time monitoring of ongoing operations, fusing sensor data with the riser model, are also described. These provide calculation of live watch circles and operating envelopes for connected-mode operations, in addition to tracking of riser joint, wellhead, conductor and casing fatigue from both wave and VIV excitation. Additionally, calibration of soil models — often a critical input to wellhead fatigue analyses — can be performed. Application of the technology is illustrated by means of a case study describing deployment on a record-breaking well in a harsh environment location. This demonstrated significant cost savings while simultaneously increasing safety and improving integrity assurance.
