Abstract
The 2013 survey was designed to collect multidisciplinary information on physics, water chemistry (dissolved nutrients, dissolved oxygen, carbonate parameters (TA, DIC), salinity), sediment chemistry (persistent organic pollutants POPs and trace metals) sediment particle size distribution and benthic macroinvertebrates. This contributes to data collection needs of various statutory drivers (WFD Dir 2000/60/EC) as well as providing a research dataset on status and changing conditions (trends and variations) for key environmental variables. Previous winter nutrient surveys for the Irish Sea in the 1990s were extended into the Celtic Sea and coastal waters of the west coast in recent years. The current annual surveys alternately survey northabout and southabout (2011 & 2013 southabout, 2012 and 2014 Northabout) thus providing a complete coverage of Irelands coastal waters over 2 year periods
