Monitoring strategy description
Ireland has five monitoring programmes aimed at monitoring pollution status, trends and pollution effects in the marine environment. These programmes monitor the amount of contaminants in the water column, in the sediment, and in shellfish (mussels and oysters), the impact of tributyltin (TBT) on dogwhelks (Nucella lapillus) populations, the inputs of contaminants into the marine area from rivers and from the atmosphere and acute pollution events. Monitoring of contaminants in water, sediment and biota is undertaken using a risk-based approach in terms of substance selection and spatial cover. As the main sources of hazardous substance to the marine environment are land-based (through direct, riverine and airborne inputs), and most sea-based activities of relevance are more concentrated in inshore areas (e.g. shipping convergence around ports), monitoring is focused in transitional and coastal waters. Ireland assesses the status of the marine environment against the two primary criteria and one of the secondary criterion set out in the Commission Decision: concentration of contaminants, acute pollution events and biological effects respectively. Monitoring of substance concentrations in the marine environment is undertaken by the Irish Marine Institute through a combined approach, in accordance with the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the OSPAR Coordinated Environmental Monitoring Programme (CEMP). These programmes follow internationally agreed monitoring and assessment protocols and cover a range of target substances in biota (shellfish), sediments and water, and specifically those EC priority substances deemed most relevant to the Irish Marine Environment.

Gaps and plans
D8C1 Metals in Shellfish - Assessment criteria are only available for a limited set of metals in shellfish. The derivation of EACs would enhance assessments. Food safety thresholds for some metals are utilised as upper thresholds by OSPAR but continued collaborative efforts is required to establish common threshold values for contaminants. There is an inconsistency with the WFD EQSbiota for mercury in fish and OSPAR assessment criteria. The potential impact of cumulative effects of combinations of contaminants is unknown. D8C1 PAH in Shellfish - Environmental Assessment Criteria (EAC) are available for a limited set of parent PAHs only. Therefore, continued collaborative efforts at OSPAR to establish common threshold values for contaminants and their effects. The derivation of EACs for alkylated PAHs in shellfish would enhance assessments. Monitoring under this indicator is for shellfish in coastal waters only where primary risk occurs. Other approaches are needed for offshore monitoring. The potential impact of cumulative effects of contaminants is unknown. D8C1 PBDE in Shellfish - Where there is no OSPAR EAC, a Canadian FEQG is utilised in lieu of this. There is an inconsistency with the WFD EQSbiota for PBDEs in fish, which needs to be resolved. The WFD EQSbiota is very conservative and presents analytical challenges. This is not currently applied in OSPAR assessments. The potential impact of cumulative effects of contaminants is unknown. D8C1 WFD - The potential impact of cumulative effects of contaminants is unknown and not considered as part of individual EQS assessments. For some substances, the available analytical capability is not sufficiently sensitive to enable assessment of compliance. Revised EQS and additional EQS, including new EQSbiota, will be applied for assessment of 2016-2021 cycle (Directive 2013/39). Some of these EQS are lower than those in Directive 2008/105/EC. D8C2 - There is potential concern about the potential for environmental harm associated with the substitute chemicals, such as copper based paints used to replace tributyltin (TBT) in antifouling paints. TBT present in historically contaminated sediments could be remobilised and enter the water column. D8C3 - The extent and volume of detected spills is not calculated.The Coast Guard has recently developed a new Standard Operating Procedure for recording pollution events. This will allow for the collection of data on the volume and extent of future spills.

For some substances, the available analytical capability is not sufficiently sensitive to enable assessment of compliance. Revised EQS and additional EQS, including new EQSbiota, will be applied for assessment of 2016-2021 cycle (Directive 2013/39). Some of these EQS are lower than those in Directive 2008/105/EC. D8C2 - There is potential concern about the potential for environmental harm associated with the substitute chemicals, such as copper based paints used to replace tributyltin (TBT) in antifouling paints. TBT present in historically contaminated sediments could be remobilised and enter the water column. D8C3 - The extent and volume of detected spills is not calculated.The Coast Guard has recently developed a new Standard Operating Procedure for recording pollution events. This will allow for the collection of data on the volume and extent of future spills.
D8C1 Metals in Shellfish - Assessment criteria are only available for a limited set of metals in shellfish. The derivation of EACs would enhance assessments. Food safety thresholds for some metals are utilised as upper thresholds by OSPAR but continued collaborative efforts is required to establish common threshold values for contaminants. There is an inconsistency with the WFD EQSbiota for mercury in fish and OSPAR assessment criteria. The potential impact of cumulative effects of combinations of contaminants is unknown. D8C1 PAH in Shellfish - Environmental Assessment Criteria (EAC) are available for a limited set of parent PAHs only. Therefore, continued collaborative efforts at OSPAR to establish common threshold values for contaminants and their effects. The derivation of EACs for alkylated PAHs in shellfish would enhance assessments. Monitoring under this indicator is for shellfish in coastal waters only where primary risk occurs. Other approaches are needed for offshore monitoring. The potential impact of cumulative effects of contaminants is unknown. D8C1 PBDE in Shellfish - Where there is no OSPAR EAC, a Canadian FEQG is utilised in lieu of this. There is an inconsistency with the WFD EQSbiota for PBDEs in fish, which needs to be resolved.

Programme description
The OSPAR CEMP provides a basis for all contracting parties to OSPAR to assess and determine eutrophication of their marine areas . The programme incorporates guidance on monitoring, quality assurance and assessment tools. It brings together data from a number of different national and regional sources to assess nutrient inputs to the marine environment and eutrophication over the common OSPAR area. This guidance is regularly reviewed to ensure the inclusion of new developments in terms of monitoring parameters and tools, such as modelling. The OSPAR CEMP encompasses three surveys that are combined into an assessment of eutrophication status.

The level of imposex related to TBT, has been monitored Article 17 Update of Ireland’s Marine Strategy Part 2: Monitoring Programme 117 | P a g e for over 30 years in Ireland; and is currently monitored every 6 years. The use of TBT in marine paints has been phased out in Ireland and internationally through the 2001 International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems on Ships (AFS Convention), which banned the application of TBT-based antifouling paints for use on ship hulls. The results of this monitoring programme are also used as a seabed habitat indicator. TBT is additionally monitored in sediments.
Acute pollution events are monitored by the Irish Coast Guard (IRCG). The IRCG are also responsible for the counter pollution activities at sea arising from spillages or loss of oil and Hazardous Noxious Substances (HNS) which endanger the marine environment. A National Maritime Oil and HNS Spill Contingency Plan (NMOSCP) was recently developed to coordinate marine pollution preparedness and response. This includes a Standard Operating Procedure for the Assessment and notification of a pollution incident and details the procedure for recording marine pollution events.

Monitoring details
Marine Institute – sampling and analytical methods Annual winter nutrient sampling is carried out in January/February on board the RV Celtic Voyager for coastal surveys and on the RV Celtic Explorer for surveys across the shelf and the Rockall Trough. Over the last two decades, the sampling programme has evolved with coverage initially focusing on the Western Irish Sea but subsequently extending into the Celtic Sea. The current winter environmental programme includes sampling for dissolved inorganic nutrients around the entire Irish coast (coastal water focus) biennially, along with a number of offshore transects completed. Nutrients samples are also collected during Celtic Voyager hydrographic surveys along 53 Degrees N (shelf) and across the Rockall Trough. Actual winter sampling is highly weather dependent. Given the weather dependence and evolution of sampling approaches, caution must be exercised in comparing summary results from year to year for given areas. Comprehensive Atmospheric Monitoring Programme (CAMP) The OSPAR Comprehensive Atmospheric Monitoring Programme (CAMP) consists of coastal atmospheric monitoring stations where monitoring data are estimated to represent marine atmospheric deposition conditions. Ireland has one atmospheric monitoring station reporting data under the OSPAR CAMP situated in Valentia (51º56' N 10º15' W). The monitoring protocol followed is in line with OSPAR CAMP principles. These data contribute to regional and sub-regional assessments as carried out via OSPAR. The data complement additional modelling-based estimates to give depositions for the North East Atlantic area. Riverine Inputs and Direct Discharges (RID) Riverine samples for physico-chemical parameters are taken monthly to align with the national Water Framework Directive monitoring programme. Samples are returned directly to the laboratory on the day of sampling or the following morning by courier and analysed within 24 hours of collection. Samples are analysed for nutrient concentrations (Nitrogen and Phosphorus) and metals (Cadmium, Mercury, lead Copper, Zinc) and PAH which are reported under Descriptor 8 (contaminants). Continuous monitoring data from hydrometric stations enables the determination of discharge flows from 19 of the largest Irish catchments. The loads of the different substances are calculated as the product of the flow-weighted annual mean concentration and the annual flow, in accordance with the RID principles (OSPAR 1998).

Continuous monitoring data from hydrometric stations enables the determination of discharge flows from 19 of the largest Irish catchments. The loads of the different substances are calculated as the product of the flow-weighted annual mean concentration and the annual flow, in accordance with the RID principles (OSPAR 1998).
Marine Institute – sampling and analytical methods Annual winter nutrient sampling is carried out in January/February on board the RV Celtic Voyager for coastal surveys and on the RV Celtic Explorer for surveys across the shelf and the Rockall Trough. Over the last two decades, the sampling programme has evolved with coverage initially focusing on the Western Irish Sea but subsequently extending into the Celtic Sea. The current winter environmental programme includes sampling for dissolved inorganic nutrients around the entire Irish coast (coastal water focus) biennially, along with a number of offshore transects completed. Nutrients samples are also collected during Celtic Voyager hydrographic surveys along 53 Degrees N (shelf) and across the Rockall Trough. Actual winter sampling is highly weather dependent. Given the weather dependence and evolution of sampling approaches, caution must be exercised in comparing summary results from year to year for given areas. Comprehensive Atmospheric Monitoring Programme (CAMP) The OSPAR Comprehensive Atmospheric Monitoring Programme (CAMP) consists of coastal atmospheric monitoring stations where monitoring data are estimated to represent marine atmospheric deposition conditions. Ireland has one atmospheric monitoring station reporting data under the OSPAR CAMP situated in Valentia (51º56' N 10º15' W). The monitoring protocol followed is in line with OSPAR CAMP principles. These data contribute to regional and sub-regional assessments as carried out via OSPAR. The data complement additional modelling-based estimates to give depositions for the North East Atlantic area. Riverine Inputs and Direct Discharges (RID) Riverine samples for physico-chemical parameters are taken monthly to align with the national Water Framework Directive monitoring programme. Samples are returned directly to the laboratory on the day of sampling or the following morning by courier and analysed within 24 hours of collection.

The organotin concentrations and biological effects monitoring is carried out within OSPAR's Coordinated Environmental Monitoring Programme (CEMP) (Agreement 2016-01). CEMP monitoring work on hazardous substances comprises monitoring and assessment of the sources and pathways of contaminants and their concentrations and effects in the marine environment. CEMP component H-4 sets out monitoring of tributyl tin (TBT)-specific biological effects and TBT in sediment or biota (Appendix H4).
Monitoring for pollution events in Ireland’s maritime area is undertaken by the Irish Coast Guard. This is carried out through an Aerial Surveillance Programme using specially equipped aircraft and specialised personnel to detect spills of oil and other harmful substances. This monitoring has been ongoing since 2014. The data recorded is reported to the Bonn Agreement annually.
