Galway Atlantaquaria launches new automated National Coastwatch Survey

Galway Atlantaquaria has hosted the launch of a new automated National Coastwatch Survey for Autumn.

The survey, which is carried out by volunteers, is designed to give an overview of the state of the coast.

People can now book in to carry out a survey of 500 metres of shore when the survey goes online in 2 weeks time.
