The seas around Ireland are home to the critically endangered Flapper Skate, the largest skate species in the world.

I went in search of one a few years ago - the story is on @RTESunMisc this morning.

My essay on the decline of Ireland’s seas and what can be learnt from literature, in ⁦@IrishTimes⁩ Weekend Review.

Ireland is not the Emerald Isle - it’s sapphire.

[Rebecca Hunter @BecksHunter]

Over the past 20 years I have watched Ireland’s seas change. Many markers tell us their health is going down, fast.

@UlsterWildlife Hi! This just sent to me from Islandmagee, ‘much bigger than a buzzard’. White tailed? It’s there now if anyone is about

[Fair Seas @FairSeasIreland]

Ireland is so much bigger than what you see on a map. Our maritime border is over seven times larger than the island itself.

Help us call on Government to pass new laws that will protect 🇮🇪's seas for generations to come 🌍
