One Ocean. One Day. One Survey.
This World Oceans Day YOU can help the National Biodiversity Data Centre improve our Knowledge of the Ocean by trying out one of our dedicated Explore Your Shore! surveys.
The Big Beach Biodiversity Survey
Why? The remains of species cast up by the tide can be a really useful indicator of what is living beneath the adjacent waves. It helps us map the distribution of marine species around the Irish coastline, and to find out what species occur at different times of year.
Our Goal? To monitor changes in the distribution and occurrence of marine species linked to climate change and water quality.
