Dublin (Ireland): Permanent environmental monitoring with monitoring buoys

Goal 9.1

Allowing independent, transparent measurement of air quality, water quality, sound levels, and light pollution in the City Port territory.

Challenge(s)

How can the environmental impacts of ports be reduced?

Best Practice

The regulations imposed by national and supranational environmental laws provide a chance to embrace a proactive stance rather than a reactive one, by embracing dynamic and forward-thinking environmental strategies. The implementation of technological solutions for monitoring the impacts of port activities on the local environment can help regulate the emissions of the port and keep the local biodiversity and city with limited pollution.

This good practice also includes objectives 10.2 (Conducting regular surveys of biodiversity in the City Port territory and publishing the findings) and 10.4 (Supporting the efforts of civil society to protect fauna and flora in the City Port territory) of the AIVP’s Agenda 2030.
