Mace Head is strategically located approximately 88km West of Galway city. Similarly, the clean sector surrounding the site also includes three small close surrounding islands, but they are uninhabited and thus do not influence the measurements taken at the site. Furthermore, the main Atlantic shipping routes are over 150km away, and the transatlantic air corridors are over 80km away. There is a proposed wind farm development close to site. More details can be found here (https://www.sceirderockswindfarm.com/) whilst planning documentation can be found here (https://www.gov.ie/en/foreshore-notice/1ae0f-fuinneamh-sceirde-teoranta-site-investigations-for-the-proposed-sceirde-rocks-offshore-wind-farm-export-cable-corridor/)

There is limited anthropogenic activity near the site. There is however a proposed offshore wind frame currently proposed for site investigation and construction (https://www.sceirderockswindfarm.com/project-info/) and (https://www.gov.ie/en/foreshore-notice/1ae0f-fuinneamh-sceirde-teoranta-site-investigations-for-the-proposed-sceirde-rocks-offshore-wind-farm-export-cable-corridor/\) and this may result in anthropogenic emissions close to the site <5KM
