Harbour porpoise surveys in Blasket Islands SAC, 2022

To contribute to the Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage (DHLGH) site management and surveillance effort, visual monitoring of harbour porpoises was carried out in the Blasket Islands SAC during the summer of 2022. This was the fifth dedicated line transect survey of harbour porpoises within this SAC, which will enable ongoing trends in summer density estimates to be explored.

Purpose

The objectives of the survey in 2022 were to:



i) derive updated summer density and population estimates for Harbour porpoises within the SAC using robust sampling methods for small cetacean density/population estimation



ii) estimate associated Coefficients of Variation and 95% Confidence Intervals



iii) collect ancillary information that is readily available during surveys concerning ecological/life history parameters of scientific interest (for example, the presence of porpoise calves, estimated group sizes, behavioural ecology) and other marine mammal species, will also be gathered and reported
