Systematic List Species To date, 24 species of cetacean have been recorded in Ireland. Some of these are widespread and common while others are rare vagrants or migrate annually through Irish waters. For each species we present figures on the number of stranding records over the last 10 years and monthly sighting records. Maps of all records received are presented in addition to those received during ISCOPE and those with effort associated. Maps legend The Irish National State (INS) limit is shown on each map as this is the area for which we have legal conservation obligations. In Northern Ireland, statutory obligations extend to the 12 nautical mile limit. The 50m, 100m and 200m depth contours are shown. A 50km 2 grid is overlaid on each map, which is consistent with reporting requirements in Europe. INS Limit Bathymetry 50km European Grid Figure 7. Index map and key.
