#MarineScience - Research funding of some €96,000 has been awarded to NUI Galway to study the marine environment of Galway Bay - and what that information can mean for those who live around it.
As the Galway Advertiser reported earlier this month, the funding has been awarded through the Enterprise Partnership Scheme for a marine science project that will involve researchers from both NUI Galway and DCU in tandem with the SmartBay Ireland initiative, collecting data that could help in more accurate weather and climate modelling.
That kind of information could prove crucial to a city that bore the brunt of this year's winter storms and experienced unprecedented levels of flooding, particularly in the economically important areas of Salthill and the Spanish Arch.
