Description: The majority of beaked whale sightings in Irish waters were recorded in slope and canyon habitats of the Rockall Trough, but also in the deeper waters of the
central Rockall Trough (figure 24). Sightings also occurred in the Porcupine Seabight and occasionally in inshore coastal waters, though the latter were
predominantly associated with subsequent stranding events (IWDG 2013).
Strandings data indicated a wider distribution for beaked whales in deep waters off the entire western shelf edge. One area of high beaked whale activity has been identified in Irish waters, on the southern slopes of the Rockall Trough. This is an area containing a number of large subsea canyon systems. Such canyons have been identified as important habitat for beaked whales elsewhere (Waring et al. 2001).
