  • 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.
