MacCabe Durney Barnes is part of the team lead by ABPmer commissioned to support the Marine Institute with the Marine Spatial Planning Data and Evidence Projects. These projects support the development of the National Marine Planning Framework. As part of the work, data covering a range of topics is being collected, audited and gathered to understand activities and interactions in the Irish marine environment. Substantial stakeholder engagement work is currently undertaken around Ireland to understand aspirations for the marine environment. More details of the MSP SDE Projects can be found on the Marine Institute’s website here: https://emff.marine.ie/blue-growth-project-tags/spatial-data-and-evidence-projects
