Project Baseline empowers passionate citizens to observe and record change within the world’s aquatic environments in a way that fosters public awareness and supports political action.
PROJECT BASELINE: STRANGFORD LOUGH
We have been diving The Lough on a regular basis for around 5 years, and have noticed various changes throughout this time period. However, we have had no way of monitoring these changes; until now.
The areas within The Lough we will be looking at are:
- Ballyhenry Bay
- "The Inner Lees" wreck
- "The Pins" wreck
- Ringhaddy Sound
- MY Alastor wreck
The objectives of Project Baseline: Strangford Lough are:
- Ongoing monitoring of the marine life and the condition of three popular wrecks
- To remove any waste from the marine environment and encourage the public to care for the lough.
- Work in collaboration with others to increase awareness of the biodiversity of the marine life.
- Inform the CEDaR of sightings of ‘priority’ Species.
- Publish data collected through Google Earth
Divers can submit observation logs to the team by completing the Observation Log Form.
