Plankton of the Irish Sea, by Barry Kaye (Lancashire MCS)
Most of the Irish sea is vertically mixed by waves and currents throughout the year, and has relatively little contact with the Atlantic. In addition, the waters in the Eastern Irish Sea, that lap our NW coastline, have been subject to massive human inputs, from industry, agriculture and major population centres. These factors have resulted in the development of a distinctly local flavour to the plankton population. This talk will attempt to show how plankton populations vary across the area in response to local conditions, using literature sources, and illustrated by our work at Knott End.
