It is our mission at Surf Safari to be the number one Surf website in Ireland.  We support the sustainable development of the Environment as a playground for outdoor enthusiasts.  Longterm, as we grow as a business, we wish, with the help of our service providers and the Adventurer, to remove your carbon footprint and contribute to worthwhile conservation projects in Ireland for the benefit of all who cherish the natural environment.

We welcome any suggestions of worthy Charities involved with coastal and marine conservation. Please e- mail info@surfsafari.ie

Surf Safari/Redwood Paddle took part in  Clean Coast week  as part of our conservation project/beach clean south Dublin . We  organised  a clean up of  the killiney beach area. The gathering took place at killiney dart station at 1 pm. We planned as well to organize a demonstration of stand up paddle after the event.  We had Dun Laoghaire city council  come with a truck to pick up the bags after the event.  We are looking for  any support  to continue this annual project around the coast.

The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group is dedicated to the conservation and better understanding of whales, dolphins and porpoise in Irish waters.

Whalewatching

Irish waters are among Europe's richest for cetaceans, with an impressive 24 species recorded to date. In 1991 the Irish government accepted an IWDG proposal, declaring Ireland a whale and dolphin sanctuary- the first of its kind in Europe.

Whalewatching is one of the fastest growing tourism industries in the word and the potential in Ireland is considered hugely under-developed.

Why Whale watch?....Think conservation!

You can contribute to marine conservation by simply reporting your land or boat based cetacean observations to the IWDG via www.iwdg.ie . Yes, of course there are difficulties in establishing what you've seen, but the validation process will help with the thorny matter of Species Identification. So you can convert a Conversation piece into a Conservation piece by simply keeping us informed

Your sightings are essential for:
1. Determining the seasonal and geographic distribution of cetaceans in Irish waters
2. Identifying critical habitats for conservation

3. Assessing the impact of human activities such as: mineral exploration, commercial fishing and inshore recreational water sports.

The Department of Transport issued Marine Notice 15 in 2004 on the correct procedure when encountering whales and dolphins in inshore Irish waters. This important legislation is provided under a statutory instrument and thus is legally enforceable, giving Ireland some of the strictest protection to cetaceans from both recreational and commercial vessels (including whalewatching boats) in Europe.
