INFOMAR Phase 1 Priority Bays
This dataset provides seabed mapping data for priority bays surveyed during Phase 1 of the INFOMAR programme, the integrated Mapping for the Sustainable Development of Ireland's Marine Resource. INFOMAR is a joint venture between the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) and the Marine Institute (MI), succeeding the earlier Irish National Seabed Survey (INSS). It focuses on creating detailed bathymetric and seabed data for Ireland's nearshore and coastal waters. The data supports marine spatial planning, navigation safety, environmental management, and scientific research into Ireland's marine resources, and is published as open geospatial data accessible without authentication.The integrated Mapping for the Sustainable Development of Ireland’s Marine Resource (INFOMAR) programme is a joint venture between the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) and the Marine Institute (MI).
