Centre for Environmental Data and Recording

The Centre for Environmental Data and Recording (CEDaR) was established in 1995 by the Ulster Museum, with the active support of the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, as the Local Records Centre for Northern Ireland.

The aim of CEDaR is to collect, store and disseminate information on:

• the distribution of flora and fauna
• geological sites

within Northern Ireland and its coastal waters, on computerised databases.

CEDaR databases currently hold more than one million species and site records. Whilst ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive records, these data are available in a number of formats for research, monitoring, conservation, education and commercial purposes.
