The INFOMAR programme is an important source of accurate information on seafloor conditions for Ireland’s marine territory. This knowledge is of crucial importance for the development of Offshore Renewable Energy in Ireland as it provides a unique source of data and knowledge forming a reliable baseline and reference for key activities in the sector, including preliminary assessment of seafloor conditions for site selection.
