Fair Seas group calls for 30 per cent of waters to be designated as Marine Protected Areas by 2030
“Time is running out for Ireland to meet its targets to protect 30 per cent of our seas and ocean by 2030,” he said.
“We’re asking the voters of Ireland to add their voice to the calls to safeguard our seas. Tell your elected representatives you want strong and ambitious Marine Protected Area legislation. We must all act with ambition and urgency so that the full benefits of nature restored can reveal themselves in generations to come.”
In recent weeks the organisation published the “Sustainably financing Ireland’s Marine Protected Area network” report which indicates that approximately €7 million would be required over the next 12 months to reach the target of fully protecting 10 per cent of Ireland’s ocean and seas.The comments from Fair Seas come in advance of a special event in Kilrush, Co Clare, to celebrate the rich waters off the southwest coast.
