About this episode
This episode discusses Fair Seas' mission to establish Marine Protected Areas around Ireland's seas with guest Donal.
This week’s episode focuses on Fair Seas mission to establish Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) around Ireland’s seas. Donal is passionate and knowledgable about the subject so no better person to hear about the campaign. For me, I’m excited to see how the management measures are implemented on the ground, after the new laws have passed. It will also be great to see coastal communities involved in the decision making and management of these sites through stakeholder engagement. Hope you enjoy the episode and learn something new about the management of our coastlines. You can find out more about Fair Seas Campaign at www.fairseas.ie .
