    Marine substratum map of the Causeway Coast, Northern Ireland

    A 1:30,000 substratum map for an area off the north coast of Ireland is presented. The study area is bounded in the south by the Causeway coastline and in the north by the following coordinates: top left corner (6°43′36″W, 55°17′N) and top right corner (6°27′W, 55°17′N). This mapping has been made possible through the availability of full seafloor coverage multibeam swath bathymetry and backscatter data (both gridded to 1 m), together with ground-truthing data collected over the past 40 years. Bathymetry data were used to generate terrain indices such as slope, rugosity, aspect, fine- and broad-scale Benthic Position Index, whilst the backscatter data were interpreted visually, subjected to an unsupervised classification process using QTC Multiview, and combined with the bathymetry-derived parameters into a clustermap in ArcGIS. The resulting maps allowed us to divide the seabed into 10 distinct acoustic classes, which, linked to sediment samples, diver surveys, underwater video-tows and remotely operated vehicle surveys, were converted into a substratum map. This is the most accurate seafloor substratum map to date for the north coast of Ireland and could form the basis for more in-depth geological, biological and hydrodynamic studies of this highly dynamic coastline

    Marine substratum and biotope maps of the Maidens/Klondyke bedrock outcrops, Northern Ireland

    The Maidens (including the North and Outer Klondyke) are a group of bedrock extrusions about 14 km northeast of Larne, off the coast of Northern Ireland (central point for Maidens Complex: 54°57′50.0, −5°42′20.0). Multibeam echosounder data have been combined with extensive ground-truthing to produce broad-scale substratum and biotope maps for the site. The bathymetry was used to derive rasters of slope gradient, rugosity, aspect, and fine- and broad-scale benthic position index which were used for further analyses with Principal Components Analysis. Ground-truthing data were used to create sample signatures and a Maximum Likelihood Analysis performed to classify the surfaces according to that signature. The supervised classifications generated distributions for three broad-scale substrata and habitat biotopes (six level three biotopes, four level four and one level five biotope). The maps provide critical information and distributions that greatly facilitate the conservation, management and monitoring of a proposed Special Area of Conservation

    A holistic and comprensive data approach validates the distribution of the critically endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius)

    Morphological similarities between skates of the genus Dipturus in the north-eastern Atlantic and mediterranean have resulted in longstanding confusion, misidentification and misreporting. Current evidence indicates that the common skate is best explained as two species, the flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) and the common blue skate (D. batis). However, some management and conservation initiatives developed prior to the separation continue to refer to common skate (as ‘D. batis’). This taxonomic uncertainty can lead to errors in estimating population viability, distribution range, and impact on fisheries management and conservation status. Here, we demonstrate how a concerted taxonomic approach, using molecular data and a combination of survey, angler and fisheries data, in addition to expert witness statements, can be used to build a higher resolution picture of the current distribution of D. intermedius. Collated data indicate that flapper skate has a more constrained distribution compared to the perceived distribution of the ‘common skate’, with most observations recorded from Norway and the western and northern seaboards of Ireland and Scotland, with occasional specimens from Portugal and the Azores. Overall, the revised spatial distribution of D. intermedius has significantly reduced the extant range of the species, indicating a possibly fragmented distribution range.acceptedVersio
