Surveying 2008

During 2008, surveying has been carried out within the following priority bays, harbours and offshore areas:

Priority Bays / Harbours

Cork, Donegal, Dublin, Galway, Blacksod, Sligo, Lough Foyle

Additional Areas

Offshore North Donegal as part of the Joint Irish Bathymetric Survey (in partnership with MCA and DoE NI)

Our current work programme includes data acquisition and the creation of a variety of mapping products. Data acquisition methods will include airborne marine LIDAR, hydrographic and geophysical vessel survey, and geological and biological seabed sampling. In support of the above, coastal and offshore tide gauges will be deployed in advance of and during operations.

As part of the ongoing planning process, INFOMAR are interested in identifying previous, current, and planned operations or environmental constraints within the above priority survey areas, (e.g. environmental and/or physical monitoring / dredging / commercial activities)

Enquiries or supporting information in relation to the above programme should in the first instance be directed to the programme administrator Linda Grealish by phone (091 387509) or email linda.grealish@marine.ie.
