This 20-year programme aims to map Ireland’s seabeds, such as vulnerable offshore reefs (Topic Box 8.2 and Figure 8.6). INFOMAR provides information for Ireland’s Marine Atlas, 22 which is a publicly accessible reporting and investigative tool. The atlas includes marine data on, for example, administrative boundaries, ocean features, fisheries and aquaculture sites, marine monitoring, seabed habitats, tourism and leisure, transport, infrastructure, discharge point sources and Natura sites. 22 https://atlas.marine.ie 208
