New research from the Southern Ocean, showing just how important further research is in this area and why its important to protect these waters!! https://phys.org/news/2022-08-carbon-dioxide-southern-ocean-affect.html

In the Southern Ocean near Antarctica, deep-ocean water upwells to the surface, where it releases carbon dioxide that entered the ocean prior to the Industrial Revolution. This process is a key component of the global carbon cycle, and recent research has suggested that it returns more carbon dioxid...

Great mini doco series on Antarctica - The Great Sanctuary! The boat that they are making the documentary on the Hans Hansson was our sister ship for our sailboat Ocean Tramp when we were there!! We were very grateful for it as it held much of our stores, fuel etc. for the 3 months we lived there.

This doco was made the season before we were there. great to see the footage and message!!

In 2019 we were the first sail boat of the season to reach vernadsky Ukrainian research station. As the summer season was just starting the ice was just breaking up enough, for our small sail boat navigation was manageable and the scientists were delighted to welcome us and have a few drinks of celebration.

Great article on Vernadsky here:

Great to see an Irish publication spread its wings and encompass the worlds oceans and environment. Best of luck Ocean Focus.
You can enjoy their first edition free.

May 2020

After 15 years publishing as Inshore Ireland, we feel it is the time to look through a global lens on the oceans of the world, in addition to the coastal and inland waters of Ireland.

Ocean Focus will report on the ‘blue economy’ and the impacts of climate change and global warming, as well as on fisheries, seafood, aquaculture and freshwater.

We're also moving online…

As more people and businesses are consuming news and selling products and services online, we believe it is time to move full-time to a digital platform. This will enable us to better connect with visitors to www.oceanfocus.ie from Adelaide to Annascaul.

We're acutely aware of the extremely challenging times coronavirus is having on everyone on this island and across the globe, where limited movement has become the norm.

As a small gesture to our readers and clients, we're offering a free digital copy of our first issue: Ocean Focus, Spring 2020, which you can read anywhere on your mobile, laptop or desktop device.
https://oceanfocus.ie/ocean-focus-spring-2020-now-available/

An evolving ‘perfect storm’ for inshore fisheries, Ireland’s national marine plan, and a special feature on Antarctica are among the articles in this first edition.

Starting with ‘Ocean Focus (Summer 2020)’, a paywall will be in place where subscribers can choose to receive a single quarterly edition or four consecutive editions (non-calendar).

Between editions we will continue to carry news across all the categories on www.oceanfocus.ie free to download.

We hope you enjoy this first edition and we look forward to your feedback to [email protected] | [email protected].
