Lovely piece with Paddy Ferriter. We remember him well. And not a word of a lie. Thanks Sean for digging it out.
This is wonderful storytelling by Paddy Ferriter, the old Lighthouse keeper and the first to spot Fungie in Dingle harbour in 1983. The speech, the mannerisms, the eyes... Paddy had it all.
Filmed by Zari productions in 1991.

Underwater Noise Pollution đđŹđ
There is increasing concern about the harmful effects of man-made noise (anthropogenic) on the marine environment and species within. While anthropogenic noise is not the only noise source in the marine environment, its level is increasing due to growth in commercial shipping, military activities geophysical surveys and inshore works.
Conservation Officer Dave Wall ( Flukes Summer 2020 p.10) reports on the potential conservation impact of oil and gas surveys on cetaceans in Irish waters.
Whales, dolphins and porpoises live largely in an acoustic world. They use sound to communicate, navigate and forage. They have evolved over millions of years in an ocean without manmade sounds. Only since the 1990s has human noise pollution made any significant impact on the ocean.
Dave has authored a number of IWDG publications including the Policy on the Effects of Noise Pollution on Cetaceans, which you can find here >>>

Front page- What future for the Doolin Dolphin?â
â
The summer of 2000, an immature, femaleâ bottlenose dolphin befriended people nearâ the village of Doolin, Co Clare. Although theâ dolphin has been frequenting an area knownâ
as "The Jump" for the last two years, it wasâ only that summer that people startedâ swimming with her regularly.â
There are many theories as to why suchâ incidents occur, but clearly dolphins andâ people are destined to come into closeâ
contact. How many other "resident"â dolphins are there around
he coast, but atâ sites rarely visited by people? â

Despite a full post-mortem being carried out at the DAFM regional vet lab, the cause of death a rare Sowerbyâs Beaked Whale live stranded in Wicklow Harbour on 4 July 2020 is not known. Of interest, but not thought to have contributed to its death, was the partial impaction at the end of the intestine, caused by a bolus of fish bones and a piece of hard plastic measuring 95x30 mm.
