Join Fair Seas this Sunday at 11:45am in #Fenit on the the edge of the incredibly bio-diverse #TraleeBay for a film screening and a talk about Ireland's future Marine Protected Areas.
#FairSeas #30x30 #WildMind

If Marine Protected Areas are really going to work, then real voices need to be represented throughout the process.

Travelling the coast with Irish Whale and Dolphin Group we meet communities who's lives depend on healthy seas.

Follow to hear these important conversations.

#RealVoices

Delighted to hear a northern accent at #FairSeas today in Cork! Donal Griffin highlights the progress made in Ireland on #MPAs recently from expert group report, to draft legislation and recommendations but stresses success depends on implementation, resourcing & enforcement.

These #ColdWaterCoral #MarineGeologists enjoyed every moment of the Fair Seas #WorldOceanDay Conference!
