Engineering Spatial Data

 

Welcome

HarbourThe Engineering Division (ED) of the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources (DCMNR) is charged with supporting and managing the sustainable use and development of Ireland’s marine territory. In striving to achieve this objective, ED continues to develop and enhance its expertise in the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and in the acquisition of important spatial data including Coastal Aerial photography and Airborne LiDAR data. One of the projects initiated by ED in 2003, the Irish Coastal Protection Strategy Study (ICPSS) has generated many valuable data sets that are being made available on this website.

It is the intention that important spatial data from other ED projects will be similarly available in the near future.
