- NUI Galway has a long tradition of marine science research. It has a prime location on the west coast of Ireland in a highly diverse and near-pristine environment, which includes some unique habitats, such as maërl (coralline red algal beds), limestone shores, highly indented and highly biodiverse inlets such as Kilkieran Bay and Bertraghboy Bay ( Cuan Cill Chiaráin agus Cuan an Beirtreach Bhuí), salty lagoons, and deep-water corals off the continental shelf. The commitment of the University since 1939 to marine science research is reflected in the inclusion of marine science as a strategic research priority of the University.
