Explore Your Shore!

Ireland has 3,171 km of coastline and yet we have relatively few records of intertidal and coastal marine species. We lack a strong tradition of the public recording intertidal species. We are looking for volunteers like you, whether you are a surfer, angler, walker, shellfish farmer, diver, amateur naturalist or professional, to take some time to Explore Your Shore! and help us record our intertidal species.

Aim

Explore Your Shore! is a Citizen Science project that focuses on increasing our knowledge of the distribution of our intertidal species, exploring their potential as bio-indicators of water quality and climate change, and highlighting actions we can all take to tackle water pollution and climate change.
