Eolas Dualfhoinse The route of the survey vessel and position of dolphin schools encountered was recorded on a hand-held Garmin 72 GPS and tracks and waypoints downloaded using Garmin MapSource® software. All dolphin schools, defined as all dolphins within 100m radius of each other (Irvine et al., 1981), were recorded and a waypoint entered on the GPS at the start and end of a group encounter. This recorded time as well as location. Each group was approached slowly and group size recorded as the total number of individuals present. The number of adults, juveniles (sub-adults) and calves within the group were recorded. The attribute table of shapefile BDLS10_allgoups.shp has the following fields:
