As part of Sustainability 2021, Explore your Shore has created some wonderful seashore searches to get all the family involved.

Ireland has over 3,000km of coastline and yet we have relatively few records of intertidal and coastal marine species.

The Explore your Shore project encourages volunteers whether they are surfers, anglers, walkers or families to take some time to survey their local shoreline and record details of the intertidal species they find.
