IE GSI MI Seabed Survey Tracklines Irish Waters WGS84

Mapping the seabed is vital to understanding many activities at sea. This data shows the ship survey lines where the seabed has been mapped in Irish waters.

Seabed mapping supports shipping and navigation so boats can safely navigate and not crash/scrape off rocks hidden below the water and not get stuck on sand banks.

Seabed mapping is vital to managing fishing so nets don’t tear on rocks and fish found in different habitats are protected.

Seabed mapping is important in planning such as sites for wind, wave and tidal energy, fish farming and the laying of cables and pipelines.

Seabed mapping is required to supporting marine tourism and leisure events involving ships and boats. Seabed mapping supports the discovery of ships wrecked at sea.

海底测绘（seabed mapping）对于认知海洋中的各类活动至关重要。本数据集展示了爱尔兰海域内已完成海底测绘的船舶测线。
海底测绘可为航运与导航提供支撑，保障船舶安全航行，避免与水下暗礁碰撞、刮擦，或在沙洲上搁浅。
海底测绘对渔业管理至关重要，可防止渔网被礁石刮破，同时保护不同栖息生境中的鱼类资源。
海底测绘在各类规划工作中发挥重要作用，例如风能、波浪能及潮汐能发电场选址、水产养殖规划，以及电缆与海底管线铺设规划。
海底测绘是支撑涉船海洋旅游与休闲活动的必要前提，同时可助力海上失事沉船的勘探发现。
