As an island nation with rights over one of the largest sea areas in Europe, our economy, society and environment are inextricably linked to the sea 🌊

Today we launched the National Marine Planning Framework – a new approach to sustainable marine planning in a changing world.

Minister @McConalogue has announced €1.1m grants to support €3m investments by 19 #seafood enterprises

Despite uncertainty of #Brexit and #Covid, he said 'our aquaculture sector is showing a very strong appetite to invest in and grow their businesses'.
