It's the last hurdle for the MPA public consultation process! .Please have your say by emailing marine.env@housing.gov.ie or click the link in our bio to fill in the public consultation survey before 5 PM today!.The main goal or outcome of new MPAs must be to conserve nature. To do this, we need robust legislation underpinning the process, and the government should invest in local communities, on the ground management plans and listen to scientific advice. #marineprotectedarea #30by30 #marineconservation #weareislanders ...
