What is Seasearch?
Seasearch is a project for divers and snorkelers, who have an interest in what they’re seeing under water, want to learn more and want to help protect the marine environment around the coasts of Ireland and the UK. Marine conservation is a topic that is garnering more and more attention in recent years and divers are uniquely placed to be the eyes and ears for tracking changes in our inshore marine environment.
Our main aim is to map out the various types of sea bed found in the near-shore zone around the whole of Ireland and the UK. In addition we are recording what lives in each area, establishing the richest sites for marine life, the sites where there are problems and the sites which need protection.
Wherever you live in the UK or Ireland Seasearch divers can collect information to submit to their local co-ordinator. If you’re interested in signing up to recieve more information just fill in the form below and the local co-ordinator for your area will be in contact.
Why is this website .ie?
Seasearch UK is currently undergoing changes in the goverance structure and for the moment the existing website is unavailable. Rest assured diving, recording, form filling and preparation for courses in the new year are still all on-going.
