Never has there been a more crucial time to reveal what is happening beneath the surface of the seas.  Oysterhaven bay is an important location as both a public amenity and diving base for Cork Sub Aqua Club.  It has an expansive natural seagrass bed which acts as both a carbon sink and nursery to smaller sea life such as nudibranch, cuttlefish & pipefish along with more familiar creatures e.g. lobster, crab, conger eel & dogfish.  Awareness & monitoring of the conditions below the surface can help indicate our current environmental impact and develop methods to counter any negative impact.  The interconnected processes within the seagrass holobiont impact the complex & important carbon, nitrogen & sulfur cycles.

There are two ways to submit data to the Project Baseline database. You can submit data for existing projects, and you can submit data for projects that are not currently hosted (ad-hoc) in the database.
