The records in this Dataset are general marine and coastal records of different taxonomic groups submitted to the National Biodiversity Data Centre.
17/10/2014
24/09/2024
To provide a facility for recorders to contribute to the knowledge of the distribution of coastal and marine species in Ireland and to make their records more freely avaiable.
Data collected by different survey methods, but principally by direct field observation.
The island of Ireland
Primarily for capturing new records from 2014 onwards, though it also contains some older records.
The bulk of the records contained in this Dataset are from either professional recorders or highly competent recorders working in a voluntary capacity. Not all of the data has been validated.
