Good morning folks 🌊

It's Sunday morning so I am going to keep it light and easy - with a 🧵of interesting videos that you can watch at your leisure😎📺🌊
1/

#RealVoices
Is a series of short films about fishers here in 🇮🇪 and their connection to the sea.
John Brittain, a Galway sea angler tells us how he believes MPAs could lead to better living for coastal communities & a chance to protect biodiversity.

#BlueCarbon
Is the organic carbon captured & stored by the world's oceanic & coastal ecosystems (think seagrasses, macroalgae, mangroves, salt marshes etc.) making the 🌊our biggest ally for mitigating #ClimateChange 💪🌍🌎🌏

But #BlueCarbon also goes beyond coastal plant and algal habitats - DYK whales play a surprising role in the fight against #Climate #Breakdown? 🐳🐋

#MPAs
Callum Roberts explains the importance of MPAs & how they could see our seas leaping with life once again #OceanOptimism
5/

#IrishMPAs
For a longer afternoon watch - here are @Irishwildlife Regina Classen & National Geographic's Adrian Gahan on the potential for Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Ireland 💪🇮🇪💙

And that's it from me. I hope you enjoyed the stories of #OceanOptmism #MPAs & #MSFD this week, and remember to follow @FairSeasIreland to keep up to date on what is happening to protect and restore Ireland's seas 😊🌊🐟🦪🦐🦞🦀🦈

There won't be a class test😅but my one take home message is to tell your elected reps & politicians you care for a& want to protect our seas and wildlife.
You'd be surprised how effective such a small #OceanAction is! 💪🌊❤️
