Abstract
The 2024 survey was designed to collect multidisciplinary information on physical conditions, water chemistry (dissolved oxygen, dissolved nutrients, total alkalinity (TA), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and salinity), sediment chemistry (persistent organic pollutants POPs and trace metals), sediment particle size distribution and benthic macroinvertebrates (at targeted waterbodies around the coast). This contributes to data collection needs of various statutory drivers (WFD and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Directive 2008/56/EC) as well as providing a research dataset on status and changing conditions (trends and variations) for key environmental variables. The 2024 survey was south-about departing Galway, initially travelling north and eventually finishing in Cork.
