✨Oíche Shamhna Shona Daoibh!✨
Happy Hallowe'en to you all!
The ancient festival of Samhain (Hallowe'en) marks the midway point between the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice. In Ireland, this liminal time between seasons highlighted the proximity of death to life, inspiring folklore. #Samhain

The 1st international basking shark conference took place over the weekend & well done to all involved!
Ireland is a global hotspot for these sharks and it is vital that while we wait for new MPA legislation in Ireland, we have interim measures put in place to protect these endangered animals.
