We are looking forward to seeing skipper Eddie Joe, Eugene Farrelly & our Kerry Colleen.

The collaboration between Tralee Bay Experience Fenit and the Marine Institute - Foras na Mara is a fantastic initiative! By combining local expertise with the Marine Institute's scientific resources, they can address key areas like marine life conservation and promote sustainable tourism. Projects like these not only protect delicate marine ecosystems but also foster a deeper appreciation for them within local communities and visitors alike.

Such partnerships can bring significant benefits:

1. Environmental Impact: Conservation efforts can restore habitats, protect endangered species, and maintain biodiversity in areas like Tralee Bay.

2. Educational Outreach: Community engagement initiatives and educational tours could raise awareness about marine ecosystems, making locals and tourists more informed advocates for the ocean.

3. Sustainable Tourism: By promoting eco-friendly tourism, they can offer immersive experiences that respect nature, which may attract a growing number of environmentally conscious travelers.

4. Research and Data Collection: Collaborating with scientific institutes allows for better data on local marine conditions, benefiting future conservation and sustainability projects in particular the angel shark.

If the project includes these kinds of initiatives, it could have a lasting positive effect on Tralee Bay and inspire similar projects elsewhere.

Such incredible news!

The tagging of two Angelsharks in Tralee Bay marks a significant step in understanding their ecology and conservation in Irish waters. With the data these tags will provide, researchers will gain valuable insights into the sharks' movements, habitat use, and behavior, which are crucial for developing conservation strategies. Kudos to Ross, Ollie, Sara, and the Marine Institute team for their dedication to marine research and protection of these fascinating species. This is a great win for marine biodiversity in our small yet wonderful -Tralee Bay! 🔱🌊
