Rare Species Investigation Programme for another three years, helping researchers learn more about some of the least understood marine mammals in Irish waters.  The project has already examined several rare species, including Ireland's first recorded narwhal, and most recently a mother and calf pair of Sowerby's beaked whales that stranded in County Galway.   To tell us more about the programme, the latest findings, and what they reveal about our marine environment, Alan Morrissey was joined by Mags Daly, Head of the Shannon Dolphin Project with the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group.Photo (c) ANDREYGUDKOV from Getty Images Pro via Canva
