Afloat.ie is giving away Henri Lloyd and Helly Hansen hats for each suggestion made on its forum thread 'Brain Waves - ideas to develop our coastline'. So far users have suggested making the Shannon Estuary a marine park, development of RIB tourism, providing yacht stations, putting a marina in Galway and mixing maritime interests into local communities. All ideas are welcome and each idea wins a hat! Log on and give your idea here.

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.
Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
