First Seasearch Dive of the Season
2026-05-02 09:30 - 11:30 UTC
The Monitoring scheme season kicks off with the first site visit in May.
If you are wondering what our Seasearch monitoring dives are all about:
Our club adopted the Muglins as part of the Seasearch Adopt a Site monitoring scheme in 2015. Subsequently we also adopted Sandycove. It is a citizen science scheme with the objective of collecting data on marine biology in order to better understand our environment and how it is responding to changing conditions.
A group of us did a training day to learn how to identify a list of target species and once a month we do a “Seasearch dive“. We then send in a report on what species we saw on the day and this data is entered into a national data base. The Curragh Sub Aqua Club made the first official recording of a crayfish on the east coast at the Muglins in 2017.
