A Science@Sea marine data collection training survey will take place on the 15th and 16th of February in Cork Harbour and its approaches. The survey platform is the RV Tom Crean and learners will have the opportunity to stay aboard Europe’s newest research vessel for a truly immersive experience of offshore data collection and surveying. This intensive training survey is
This survey continues a time series used to track the biomass and abundance of herring in the Celtic Sea and informs stock assessments by ICES expert groups. Mr Ciaran O’Donnell will lead an experienced team of biologists from the Marine Institute on survey transects deploying a pelagic trawl to ground truth echo traces of herring and other pelagic species. The
This survey is the eight in a series began by the Marine Institute in 2016. The main purpose of the survey is to provide information for the assessment of the monkfish and megrim stocks around Ireland and to extend maturity sampling for other commercial species. Sampling will take place in waters to the west and north of Ireland with demersal
Two Science@Sea training surveys in multidisciplinary marine science will take place from the 14th to 17th of March in Cork Harbour and its approaches. These intensive two-day CPD courses on the RV Celtic Voyager are aimed at postgraduate students of marine-related sciences, technologies and engineering, as well as researchers, and marine oriented professionals and educators. Science@Sea teaches cross‐disciplinary skills for
An opportunity to participate in the Marine Institute’s Mackerel and Horse Mackerel egg survey from west of the Shannon to the Bay of Biscay is being offered through SMART’s Training Through Research Surveys (TTRS) scheme. This survey will take place over two legs between March and July. Brendan O’Hea will lead an experienced team of biologists from the Marine Institute
The Irish Groundfish Survey is an internationally coordinated demersal trawl survey that takes place from October to December in the Atlantic shelf waters of Ireland. The main objectives of the Irish Groundfish Survey are to provide indices of abundance for commercially exploited demersal fish stocks and recruitment information in the Celtic Seas Ecoregion. The survey also collects data on non-commercial
This survey contributes to a time series used to track the biomass and abundance of herring in the Celtic Sea and informs stock assessments by ICES expert groups. Mr Ciaran O’Donnell will lead an experienced team of biologists from the Marine Institute on survey transects deploying a pelagic trawl to ground truth echo traces of herring and other pelagic species.
WESPAS will take place over two legs and forms part of a time series used to provide biomass estimates of herring and boar fish stocks in ICES areas VIIB and VIA and inform stock assessments by ICES expert groups. Mr Ciaran O’Donnell will lead an experienced team of biologists from the Marine Institute on survey transects deploying a pelagic trawl

This survey is the sixth in a series began by the Marine Institute in 2016. The main purpose of the survey is to provide additional information for the assessment of the monkfish and megrim stocks around Ireland and to extend maturity sampling for other commercial species.
