WELCOME TO THE IRISH-SEA.ORG WEB SITE

This site is currently being redesigned to offer both the Marine Leisure Industry sector & the private boating enthusiast a focal point of information on Marine Leisure across the Irish Sea. We intend that the new web site will be launched in the very near future.

When complete, the site will have two distinct areas:

1. for the private boating enthusiast – whether sail & motor cruising or watersports, visiting or resident: a directory of all marine leisure facilities & events up & down the South & East coasts of Ireland and the South, West & North coasts of Wales. This will be aided by an interactive map so that you will be able to search either by location or by service or activity.
2. for the industry sector, itself (password controlled) – whether you are a boat yard, marine engineer, chandlery, marina operator, boat trip provider, marine sales operation, etc. this area will be specifically for you. It will contain links to all the latest industry news, emerging technologies & materials, latest processes, sector-specific training courses, knowledge sharing, industry forum, health & safety issues, legislation, etc. etc. It will be a one-stop portal for all knowledge & communications for the industry sector.
   

This web site will also be a fundamental component of the wider project whose main objectives are:

• developing the Marine Leisure Industry sector pan-Irish Sea
• acting as conduit between the industry & its stakeholders
• encouraging greater communication both internally & externally
• working with - & for - the industry as a ‘catalyst’ to growth
• improving commercial capability & capacity to the benefit of the industry
• developing industry-led training courses in partnership with marine colleges & other providers
• establishing events & festivals management expertise & resource
• identifying opportunities for growth on both sides of the Irish Sea
