1. Summary A Marine Mammal Mitigation plan was delivered during dredging operations on the Kilrush

Marina Approach Channel from the 19th to the 23rd of April 2016, in continuation from the

maintenance works carried out on the same area in aforementioned dates in April and May

2015.

This report is provided as an addendum to a Marine Mammal Observer Report, submitted to

the Environmental Protecting Agency following maintenance dredging operations carried

out on the Kilrush Marina Approach Channel, County Clare. These operations were carried

out from April 16th to April 23rd 2015, and recommenced on the 5th of May to finish on the

8th of May 2015 as desired depths had not initially been attained.

The dredging operation was carried out by a 16m bollard pull harbour tug, using a plough

dredge of 7 cubic metres. Observations were carried out by a qualified Marine Mammal

Observer (MMO), from a platform at the entrance to the marina with a view of the entire

area of the operation.

There were no marine mammal detections during the survey programme over the course of

the five days of the dredging operations. The MMO carried out a minimum of 30 minutes

pre-dredge monitoring of a 500m exclusion zone around the vessel from the entrance to the

marina with a view of the entire operational area. The MMO continued to monitor the

operational area during each dredging operation until its completion each day. Marine

mammals were not observed within the mitigation zone during any 30 minutes pre-watch

period, nor during any subsequent observations after operations had commenced.

Operations were carried out during daylight hours, with all operations commencing after a

30 minute pre-watch by the MMO in clear conditions. No stoppages occurred during the

project, with each dredging operation continuing until completion each day. The crew of

the dredging vessel were compliant, informing the MMO of the planned dredging times

each day in order for the 30 minute pre-watch to be carried out, and did not commence

operations until receiving positive confirmation from the MMO.

No marine mammals were observed during these dredging operations, therefore it was not

necessary to delay any operations prior to their start, or to halt any operations once they

had begun.

Therefore, it is concluded that compliance with National Parks and Wildlife service

guidelines was achieved for this project.

3. Methods

3.2 NPWS Guidelines relevant to this project:

1. A qualified and experienced marine mammal observer (MMO) should be appointed

to monitor for marine mammals and to log all relevant events using standardised

data forms.

2. The MMO must advise the Works Superintendent with a previously agreed

timeframe prior to scheduled activity if environmental conditions (e.g. sea state,

light, visibility) are insufficient for effective visual monitoring. In such conditions, the

activity of concern should be postponed until acceptable conditions prevail.

3. In the event of suitable environmental conditions, a clear on-site communication

signal must be agreed between the MMO and the Works superintendent as to

whether or not the relevant activity may or may not proceed, or resume following a

break (see below). It should only proceed on positive confirmation with the MMO,

which must be recorded by the MMO.

4. In waters up to 200m deep, the MMO should conduct pre-start up constant effort

monitoring at least 30 minutes before the sound – producing activity is due to

commence, continuing monitoring during and for 30 minutes following the activity.

Sound producing activity should not commence until at least 30 minutes have

elapsed with no marine mammal detections by the on-site MMO.

5. Where operations occur in waters >200m depth, pre start up monitoring should be

conducted at least 30 minutes before the activity is due to commence with

monitoring continuing during and for 60 minutes following the activity. Sound

producing activity should not commence until at least 60 minutes have elapsed with

no marine mammal detections by the on-site MMO.

6. Unless information specific to the location is otherwise available to inform the

mitigation process (e.g., sound attenuation data), operations should not commence

if marine mammals are detected within a 500m radial distance of the intended

sound source, i.e., within the Monitored Zone.

7. Once begun, the activity may continue if weather conditions deteriorate or if marine

mammals enter the 500m – radius Monitored Zone following start up.

8. If there is a break in dredging or drilling activity for a period greater than 30 minutes

then all pre-activity monitoring should recommence as for start-up.

9. Full reporting on MMO operations and mitigation undertaken should be provided to

the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht to facilitate reporting under

Article 17 of the EU Habitats Directive and future improvements to Guidance.

4.1 Marine Mammal Observations:

Visual observations commenced on the 19th of April and continued until the 23rd of April. All

observations were carried out from the lock gates tower situated at the entrance of the

marina (see Figure 2). Mobile phones were used to keep in contact with the dredging crew.

The MMO was in constant contact with the crew in order to be informed of when dredging

would begin so the MMO could arrive 30 minutes before the start of operations in order to

do a pre-watch of marine mammals.

All operations commenced once a pre-scan of 30 minutes deemed the 500m exclusion zone

clear of marine mammals. The observer scanned the area by eye and using 7x50 binoculars.

Distances were estimated with the aid of reticule binoculars (distance (m) = (height of eye

above sea level (m) x 1000/ no. of mils down from horizon). Environmental data were

recorded at the beginning and end of each watch, including sea state using the Beaufort

Scale, and wind directions/speed in knots using WindFinder

All relevant forms were completed at the end of each working day as well as a detailed log

of operations.

4.2 Marine Mammal Sightings:

No marine mammals were sighted in the exclusion zone over the duration of this project,

either during pre-watch monitoring or while dredging operations were taking place.

5. Conclusion

5.1 Compliance with Guidelines for the Protection of Marine Mammals in Irish

Waters

Dredging operations over the duration of this project were in compliance with the NPWS

Guidelines for the protection of Marine Mammals during dredging operations in Irish

Waters. One MMO was present during the dredging process to ensure there were no

marine mammals within 500m of the dredge site. Marine mammals were not observed

during any 30 minute pre-watches or for the duration of all subsequent activity over the

course of the project.

As the area of operation is infrequently used by marine mammals and the dredging activity

was frequent and short in duration, the risk of injury or mortality to marine mammals during

dredging was considered insignificant according to the risk assessment carried out by

Aquafact. The only marine mammals seen by locals in the dredge area are otters (Lutra

lutra), who are exposed to vessels on a daily basis and would be aware of their presence.

The dredge vessel was slow moving and not able to turn quickly, thus, any animals in the

area would have sufficient time to avoid any collisions.

It was decided in the marine mammal risk assessment that the noise levels associated with

dredging, disposal, and vessel movements would not cause permanent injury to the animals.

They concluded that the activity of the dredger could cause temporary displacement from

the immediate area, although extremely unlikely, and if it did occur it would only be short

term.
