Darwen SAC have secured a lottery grant from Awards For All of over £9000 to fund their Morecambe Bay Surveys. The money has been used to update the clubs RIB engine and the GPS and sounder.

The new engine will reduce the costs for running the boat allowing for greater access to the RIB to all club members. The new engine will also reduce the boat's carbon footprint. The GPS and sounder are necessary to ensure safety at sea.

 The club has great plans for the Morecambe Bay Surveys. We intend to survey the wrecks of the Hebe and Crusader as well as gather data to support the Irish Sea Conservation and Sea Search.
