OSPAR Common Indicator BH3 – Extent of Physical Damage to Predominant and Species Habitat (D6-C2)...TimpeallachtThe main activities driving pressures on benthic habitats, based on Commission Directive 845/2017 are: extraction of living resources (fish and shellfish harvesting); transport; extraction of non-living resources; production of energy; and cultivation of living resources...

OSPAR Common Indicator BH3 – Extent of Physical Damage to Predominant and Species Habitat (D6-C2)...TimpeallachtThe sensitivity of benthic ecosystem components is determined by their resistance (ability to tolerate disturbance or stress) and resilience (time required to recover). Resistance of a species or habitat can be assessed using a scale and illustrates a species or habitats...

Bedrock is the solid rock at or below the land surface. Over much of Ireland, the bedrock is covered by materials such as soil and gravel. The Bedrock map shows what the land surface of Ireland would be made up of if these materials were removed. As the bedrock is commonly...

The 1:500k bedrock maps provide a simplified, smaller scale view of the bedrock geology of Ireland. The map was created in 2013 using the detailed 1:100k geology linework and polygons, which was adjusted and scaled to provide the best representation of the geology at this...

Stream Sediment Geochemistry 250m North-West (G1, G3, G4) and South-East Ireland (G2) ING GRIDEolaíochtGeochemistry of streams sediments can be used to screen for rare minerals and thus help developing local resources. Knowing composition of stream sediments helps to understand what rocks were eroded by the water, where they came from and what resources they might contain....
