New paper on exploring the use of haul out sites by seals using a UAV This survey recorded the use of haul-out sites close to Dublin Port, Ireland during a time of increased construction activity, to assess whether infrastructural development impacted on seals during pupping and moulting seasons. A total of 10 seal haul-out sites in Dublin Bay and adjacent coastal waters were surveyed on 16 days between 30 June 2023 and 18 January 2024. Most sites were surveyed with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
