Good to see regular posts from the decks of the Cefas research ship Endeavour over the last week as she completes the first half of her Irish Sea Groundfish survey. Some of the on board research scientists have been explaining in more detail the projects they are working on using the fish caught. Of possible significance to the local fleet is the news that the Endeavour has seen anchovy in some of the hauls. For one day the boat was joined by the huge Irish research vessel Celtic Explorer and the two boats took the opportunity to record data while making comparative tows.
As per the last blog entry, the Cefas Endeavour is seen here on the AIS from VesselTracker making her way towards Rocky Island as she leaves Cork and heads for open water to begin the second half of her survey - expect an update from the blog later this evening. Meanwhile, the Irish research ship Celtic Explorer continues her survey work which runs from November 12th to December 16th.
The latest track from the Celtic Explorer can be seen here along with the Endevaour just leaving the entrance to Cork harbour.
