Dolphins Go-Ahead
February 23, 2008
SHANNON dolphins are to be studied as part of a monitoring programme. Ireland’s West Coast holds one of the biggest concentrations of the mammals in Europe.
The National Parks and Wildlife Service is to check the bottlenose dolphins along the Shannon River and estuary.
Under international law, Ireland must protect and conserve marine habitats and species.
