Thanks to @EcoEye @MiseAnja for the opportunity to be a part of last nights episode. Big task ahead to meet 30% protection by 2030. We need MPA legislation ASAP and for the gaps in the Marine Planning Framework to be addressed as a matter of urgency🚨

[Earth Horizon Productions @EcoEye]

Ireland only has 2.3% marine protected areas. We’re supposed to hit 30% in 8 years. Can developments set out in the Marine Planning Framework work in harmony with future MPA legislation? 7pm tonight @RTEone

[Ellen MacMahon @ellen_macmahon]

The end to a trip of a lifetime. Natural History Museum and the Hall of Ocean Life was the highlight. Need for effective ocean conservation is a global issue 🌊

[BBC Newsline @bbcnewsline]

From the Ards peninsula to Rosslare, just a tiny fraction of the Irish Sea enjoys full protection. A group of wildlife & conservation charities say it deserves better and are calling on the nations of the Irish Sea to work together. Louise Cullen has more

A letter from the sea, narrated by Dr. Tara Shine.

Our ocean supports all life on Earth. It produces oxygen, supports most of our planets biodiversity and is at the centre of communities and livelihoods, but now it needs our help.

Only 2% of Irish seas are protected.

Our government has committed to protecting 30% by 2030.

To speed up this process we analysed the available biodiversity data to produce this map of Areas of Interest for Ireland's Marine Protected Areas.

An exciting day for marine protection in Ireland with the release of this report from @FairSeasIreland. 'Revitalising Our Seas' shows how it is possible to protect 36% of our marine area - identifying 16 areas of interest for MPAs. A must read on #WorldOceansDay

[Fair Seas @FairSeasIreland]

A giant message from the sea appeared on a beach in Waterford just in time for #WorldOceansDay 😮😍

We have released a new report that shows how we
