@COP28_UAE listening to stories of hope and greater political will to save our ecosystems...and then you hear this from Norway who will begin harmful deep-sea mining in the Arctic.
It's a destructive practice with unknown consequences. Red Card! https://t.co/3uz1gC9oMf

Lovely to bump into a friend and former @MarineInst colleague, @AdamLeadbetter at #COP28 Adam was also at #oceanspavillion with a focus on developing sustainable digital technology solutions.

🎤Honoured to be speaking at the prestigious Island of Hope stage during COP28!
🌍 I'll join industry leaders, activists, and innovators to discuss crucial steps toward climate resilience and adaptation for Small Island States.

Invited to speak at Virtual Island Summit hosted by @islandinnovation next wk. Great opportunity to share knowledge and solutions for resilient, sustainable and prosperous islands incl #SIDS on behalf of @OurSharedOcean @MarineInst @Irish_Aid

[David O'Sullivan @Seabed_Mapper]

@OurSharedOcean @MarineInst @Irish_Aid This is a great initiative to promote Direct Funding opportunities to #SIDS. Our feedback suggests this will remove another barrier to equitable access to #OurSharedOcean Grant Aid. We'd love to hear from you and happy to discuss research proposals.

[David O'Sullivan @Seabed_Mapper]

@orgaralf @BellX1 I can take them! In Galway.. looking for four!

[David O'Sullivan @Seabed_Mapper]

Invited to speak on @OurSharedOcean tomorrow in @uniofgalway. Hoping to build on Irelands already strong international research presence and enable capacity building in #SIDS and help with #oceanscience

@MarineInst @Irish_Aid

[David O'Sullivan @Seabed_Mapper]

Hoping to generate a bit of interest from #Twitterati and link Irish Research expertise with #SIDS partners

@OurSharedOcean can help developing countries with ocean problems. WE are brave enough to try if you are brave enough to help?
#OurSharedIslands

@MarineInst @irish_aid

[Our Shared Ocean @OurSharedOcean]

Small Island Developing States #SIDS - 57 global Islands with shared environmental vulnerabilities.

But Who or Where are they?

Today we launch a new weekly series to meet and introduce #OurSharedIslands

RT your own pics/stories from each #island

[David O'Sullivan @Seabed_Mapper]

As conference venues go, this is not a bad one #Maderia #Machico. Looking forward to discussions on the #BlueEconomy & #SIDS @IslandsInnovate @OurSharedOcean @Irish_Aid @MarineInst

[David O'Sullivan @Seabed_Mapper]

Heading south to network and discuss opportunities for #SIDS & @OurSharedOcean in #madeira. Thanks to @IslandsInnovate for the invite.

Great to watch this project develop over the last few months @followtheboats @Seaniesan https://t.co/tn4qt9l8Xo

[David O'Sullivan @Seabed_Mapper]

Great student work from @ATU_GALWAY_SDCA. Exhibition currently open in wellpark, worth a visit for art, sculpture, design, fashion, film, animation and gaming. Love this marine art, would look amazing in @MarineInst reception. I wonder could we make an offer?

[David O'Sullivan @Seabed_Mapper]

Can't believe no-one played this already @OurSharedOcean @MarineInst @Irish_Aid

I do love a geography test - Ireland, St. Kitts & Nevis, Barbados, Jamaica and the Turks & Caicos Islands?

So #SIDS can apply for Travel Grants to promote research internationally? Sounds great 👏

[Our Shared Ocean @OurSharedOcean]

🇮🇪 helped 4 students go to @amlc_caribbean this week in 🇰🇳 to present work on Water Quality in 🇧🇧&🇯🇲, the Queen Conch in 🇯🇲 and the invasive lionfish in 🇹🇨.
Good Luck Annabel, Shanna-Lee, Abigail & Julia.
@CERMES_UWI @MarineDbay

Can you name those flags?
@MarineInst @Irish_Aid

[David O'Sullivan @Seabed_Mapper]

Well done @Giulia_LaBianca, looking forward to reading it. Always happy when the #SeaRover team continues to contribute to #oceanscience

[David O'Sullivan @Seabed_Mapper]

#SIDS (Small Island Developing States) don't have resources to manage ocean health. #Ireland has extensive marine infrastructure / expertise and trying to help where it can.

A great initiative - Irish researchers please get involved! 🇮🇪
@MarineInst @Irish_Aid @MIFundingOffice

[Our Shared Ocean @OurSharedOcean]

A beautiful day morning in Galway but more importantly our 2023 MSc Scholarship Grants to help tackle critical challenges in #SIDS are being launched later today. Watch this space! @MarineInst @Irish_Aid @MIFundingOffice

[David O'Sullivan @Seabed_Mapper]

That looks like a really engaging way to think about a really complex problem would love to know more and have a go sometime @GalwaySeaShore? Please let me know!

[MSc in Coastal & Marine Environments @GalwaySeaShore]

another successful #MSPChallenge w our MSc students & @stxLiam ! They did great w renewable energy targets but couldn’t hit 30% marine reserves! shows how tough it can be! But fun was had! #marinespatialplanning #climatechange @MarineInst @LodewijkAbspoel @MSP_Ireland @MarSocSci

[David O'Sullivan @Seabed_Mapper]

Meeting of the Irish Task Force for the #AtlanticStrategy yesterday @MarineInst. Great to be invited to contribute to Pillar IV - Healthy Oceans & Resilient Coasts. The education is finally paying off!!
