“…Similarly, the development of a seasonal gyre in the WISMB during the spring and summer may exacerbate the issue, as near bottom currents increase during this time. These currents may aid in entraining sediment within the water column and its re-dispersal elsewhere (Hill et al, 1997;Horsburgh et al, 2000). Palanques et al (2001) and Martín et al (2014) also noted a general coarsening and silt enrichment in their studied cores after trawling.…”

“…To the south of the Isle of Man, dissolved transport is the most important mechanism (Charlesworth et al, 2006). Although the strongest concentration of Sellafield radionuclides is found in the north of the WISMB (Charlesworth et al, 2006), during summer months in the western Irish Sea, a thermal stratification develops in the region of weak tidal stirring (Hill et al, 1997;Horsburgh et al, 2000). This event transports water from the Sellafield power plant to the south (Povinec et al, 2003).…”

This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication. As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. Record of Anthropogenic Impact on the Western Irish Sea Mud Belt Highlights We investigate 5 cores from the Irish Sea using a multi-proxy approach  We assess multibeam echosounder and backscatter data from the same area  We analyse these cores for anthropogenic radionuclides using gamma spectrometry  Downcore radionuclide activity was related to known output levels from Sellafield  The impact of trawling was found to result in significant amounts of sediment loss

“…1b) developed annually during the summer season in the western Irish Sea (WIS). The mechanism of gyre formation is well recognized now (Hill et al, 1997;Horsburgh et al, 2000) but its retention properties on material transport and marine biota have not been fully analysed. Man before rejoining the main flow to exit through the North Channel (Howarth, 1984).…”

“…Van der Molen et al (2007) also concluded that dispersion of fish eggs and larvae are affected by release time and location presenting a major challenge for the design of effective spatial management strategies. The above studies used 1995 meteorological data for model forcing due to the availability of hydrographic data for that year originating from numerous surveys (Horsburgh, 1999;Horsburgh et al, 2000;Horsburgh and Hill, 2003;Young et al, 2004). It was also a relatively warm year, which allows determining the potential impact of strong thermal stratification and density-driven flows.…”
