Event Description

What the status of Ireland’s marine species tells us about the need for conservation and restoration.

In The High Seas, bestselling author Olive Heffernan uncovers the dramatic struggle playing out across two-thirds of the ocean that lies beyond national borders.

In this compelling talk, she will delve into icons of the natural world that are present around the island of Ireland. From the porbeagle shark to the puffin, what do the status of these iconic creatures tell us about the need for conservation and restoration of our seas?

This will be followed by a reception and book signing.
