This exhibit showcases some of the seabed mapping work that AFBI, Ulster University and SAMS undertook for the project, work which is of significant value for DAERA and other statutory bodies as they assess future management and utilisation of the coastline of NI.

The videos have allowed local school children who are part of a school environmental group and WAVE project staff to talk about their own experiences in the sea and on the shore around Portrush and the value that each has on maintaining a healthy marine resource for both the local community and the wildlife which can be found in the area.

This is the last exhibit to be linked to the MarPAMM project and will form a legacy for the project through educating and entertaining visitors to the Coastal Zone museum on the value and importance of our marine environment for years to come.
