The majority of the people of Ireland are aware of the deterioration ocean health and want more efforts to protect marine life.
We are fortunate, it seems we already have a wealth of willing volunteers in tow. Now all we need are the new MPA designations.
We have compiled a list of how you can get involved with different organisations around the country and help us secure greater protection for the amazing habitats and species in Irish waters.
Ireland's current MPA network lacks monitoring and management, rendering the areas ineffective. New legislation must address this.
DYK: Spurdogs can live to be 75 years old. Their old age and slow growth make them vulnerable to overfishing.
DYK: Blue sharks are the highest species caught as bycatch from longliners which are targeting tuna and other billfish.
DYK: Tope sharks can live to be 55 years old and don't start to reproduce until they're around 15 years old.
Seamus says that a fish nursery ground outside his local harbour would make a good Marine Protected Area (MPA).
DYK? A fully grown adult basking shark can weigh 6 tonnes, around the same weight as a large African elephant.
