This event aims to bring together diverse expertise from across the island of Ireland to critically examine ‘our aquatic environment’ and the measures being taken to protect and restore it.

The theme will be explored through a variety of lenses, including policy and governance, scientific diagnosis, social awareness, interdisciplinary approaches, and climate science.

The workshop will be structured around a keynote talk and two panel sessions, the first looking at threats to the aquatic environment and the second exploring policy and action to mitigate these threats.

Coffee and lunch will be provided.
