Abstract

Explore Your Shore! is a marine biodiversity Citizen Science project run by the National Biodiversity Data Centre in Ireland. The project collects casual and effort-related records of marine species from around the Irish Coast, with a focus on intertidal seaweeds, fish and invertebrates. All records are photo-validated and validated by experts before being uploaded to the database.
