Research Vessels Marine Notices

The Marine Institute research vessels (Celtic Explorer and Tom Crean) operate all year round in Irish waters conducting a variety of research surveys. Specific surveys issue Marine Notices to inform stakeholders of our activities and contain information on the survey dates, activities, locations and contact details.

The current Marine Institute Marine Notices in place are listed below and can be viewed by clicking on the links:
