INFOMAR Seabed Survey Coverage
This dataset shows the extent of seabed mapped around Ireland under the INFOMAR programme and its predecessor, the Irish National Seabed Survey. Coverage is represented as polygons, each corresponding to a single survey leg and coded with the initials of the survey vessel, the year the survey was completed, and the leg number. The dataset is published via Ireland's open data portal and is useful for tracking cumulative seabed mapping progress around the Irish coast and identifying which areas have been surveyed by which vessels and campaigns over time.This dataset shows the area of seabed mapped by both the INFOMAR and Irish National Seabed Survey projects to date. Each survey leg is represented by a unique polygon whose title is coded using the initials of the vessel that did the survey, the year the survey was completed and the leg number fo...
