Ever wondered what treasures are hidden in our ocean’s dark depth? My TEDx talk just featured on @TED, explores how we are working with mother nature to discover our future medicines from deep-sea coral reefs, Irelands’ Hidden Pharma-Sea. Watch here https://t.co/xKJUhv37i2

BREAKING 'good' NEWS🚨

Huge parts of Ireland's maritime territory receive EU protection from destructive bottom fishing activities🪸

It's so encouraging to see many of these areas overlap with our map of suggested Marine Protected Areas to help Ireland reach #30x30.
