This API provides access to seabed sample data collected under the INFOMAR programme (Integrated Mapping for the Sustainable Development of Ireland's Marine Resource), a joint initiative of the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) and the Marine Institute (MI). INFOMAR is the successor to the Irish National Seabed Survey (INSS) and focuses on mapping Ireland's marine territory, including seabed composition and sediment sampling. The dataset covers national waters and is maintained by the Irish Government. It supports geospatial analysis of Ireland's continental shelf and coastal seabed, offering a resource for marine geology, habitat mapping, and resource assessment applications.”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).
