  • A SURVEY of BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS (Tursiops Truncatus) in the SHANNON ESTUARY
    A SURVEY OF BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS (Tursiops Truncatus) IN THE SHANNON ESTUARY MARCH 2000 Emer Rogan Coastal Resources Centre, Dept. of Zoology and Animal Ecology, National University of Ireland, Cork. Simon Ingram Coastal Resources Centre, Dept. of Zoology and Animal Ecology, National University of Ireland, Cork. Brian Holmes Hydraulics and Maritime Research Centre, National University of Ireland, Cork. Conal O’Flanagan Irish Whale and Dolphin Group, 21 Lorcan Grove, Santry, Dublin. This project was funded under contract IR.95MR.022 of The Marine Research Measure (Operational Programme For Fisheries, 1994-1999) administered by the Marine Institute, and part funded by the European Union’s Regional Development Fund. Abstract The bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus is a ubiquitous species found throughout the temperate and tropical oceans of the world. The bottlenose dolphin population that occurs in the Shannon is one of only six known resident European populations. Since 1994, a small dolphin watching industry has been operating in the estuary, with plans for expansion. The objectives of the this were to a) assess the degree of residency of bottlenose dolphins in the Shannon; b) estimate the population size and assess the production of calves; c) examine the social structure of the population; d) study habitat use and e) examine the effects of boats on dolphin behaviour. Boat- based surveys and photo-identification techniques were used to derive a population estimate and to examine distribution and movements of individually identifiable dolphins over a two-year period. Land-based scan samples were used to examine behavioural activity and interactions of dolphins with all categories of boat traffic.

    Celtic Tours World Vacations ♣ 1860 Western Ave. ♣ Albany, NY 12203 ♣ 800-833-4373 ♣ www.celtictours.com Ireland ––– discovering the Emerald Isle! Ireland is a wonderfully warm and welcoming country. No matter where you travel, you will find Irish hospitality in every part of the country. From the Giants Causeway to the Dingle Peninsula to the bustling city of Dublin, the friendliest of islands begins to work its magic the moment you arrive. Ireland, at 172 miles long and 302 miles wide, has many things to see and do. With unspoiled coastlines, spectacular scenery, a rich culture, and warm and welcoming people, you will soon find that you’ve come home again to Ireland! The Emerald Isle is home to two countries; the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. However, it is seamless to the traveler, as there are no longer any borders, but there are two currencies, with the Euro in the Republic and British Pound Sterling in the north. Choosing a self-drive vacation gives you the opportunity to create the perfect itinerary to suit your needs and what you want in your Ireland vacation. A self-drive vacation is independent, and before planning, it is a good idea to do some research on Ireland to determine what you want to see and do. Here is a brief outline of the regions of Ireland, which may help you in determining what route is best for you. We’ve also created a few sample itineraries to help you with your vacation planning. You should also review Celtic Tours brochure and tours online featuring coach tours that will give you an idea on what to see and how far you should drive in a day for comfort.
