Day two’s workshop was an opportunity to learn and discuss a range of topics encompassing marine mammal law🐬👨‍⚖️👩‍⚖️🐋. A HUGE thanks to our speakers Helen Mitcheson (@cetacealegal) from Cetacean Law, and Julie Forshaw from Operation Seabird Wirral #UKISCU24.

Next, are #HydroMoths promising for cetacean acoustic monitoring? New, small and cheap devices recorded sounds of several cetacean species in field. Sounds were visually analysed and run through detection algorithms J Stavenow Jerremalm Mark Jessopp Ailbhe Kavanagh Emer Rogan Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC MaREI

That's a wrap on #UKIRSC24 and my 2nd and final year on the UKIRSC MarineMammals committee! I've absolutely loved every second of it and all of the gorgeous #marinemammal enthususiasts I have met in the process. Particularly this incredible bunch! 🦭🐬🐳

Congratulations to Philippa Wright and Grant Ellis - winners of best poster and best runner up poster at the #UKIRSC24 conference this week - a huge well done to both of you 👏👏👏 🦭🐟🐬

I wrote a piece for the Irish Examiner on our skate tracking work currently underway in Co. Cork 🇮🇪 Now online & in print! ➡️ irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/outd… ⬅️

My time on the UKIRSC MarineMammals has also come to an end. I'd like to thank both of the brilliant committees that I've been on and for every single person that came to #UKIRSC23 and #UKIRSC24 and made them such special events 🐬🐳

Check out the research I do as part of the Marine Ecology Group here in UCC and how it can contribute to conserving our Irish seabird populations! Thank you to RTÉ Brainstorm for featuring my piece on the complexity surrounding biodiversity and growing ORE production

Thanks to social media, I received another record for the Critically Endangered flapper skate... found just 3km down the road!🤯Please circulate this call for information. Let's find Ireland's first flapper skate nursery!⚡️

It was lovely to chat to everyone about J Stavenow Jerremalm and mine’s poster at the EIMR2024 conference today!

Today we introduce a previous committee member, Jas!

J Stavenow Jerremalm Hi! I'm a PhD student investigating distribution and behaviour of cetaceans using bioacoustics, primarily in relation to ORE. I'm based Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC and MaREI in Ireland. I look forward to hearing about your research at #UKIRSC2025!

After 3 years of surveys, Emer Rogan and Mark Jessopp launched the reports for Phase II of the ObSERVE aerial survey programme. If you want to know more about the distribution and abundance of marine megafauna in Irish waters, head to gov.ie/observe
