Dear All,
The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (IWDG) still have a couple of places left on a practical training week in Marine Mammal Observation and Passive Acoustics off the South West coast of Ireland. Training will be on board the newly refitted RV Celtic Mist and involve discussion and instruction in the application of the Irish guidelines, as well as their practical application in the field. The course will start and finish in Castletownbere, County Cork, and will depart port on the 3 September 2012, with all participants expected on board on the 2nd, returning to port September 9th. Early autumn sees a peak in cetacean sightings and frequently unusual sightings off the south west coast with typically good weather. The RV Celtic Mist will be using a towed hydrophone array and dipping hydrophones with associated filter boxes and sound card for high sampling rates. The course is intended to take in the shelf edge and coastal habitats to maximise as much as possible the variety and number of sightings and detections experienced in order primarily to prepare observers for mitigation with industry.
