Faoi lánseol: Ireland’s expert group kicks off

Cruthaíodh coiste stiúrtha saineolaithe don togra AccessSea ar na mallaibh.

Tá an dobharshaothrú ar cheann de na hearnálacha is tábhachtaí i nGeilleagar Gorm i Limistéar an Atlantaigh. Tá sé ag brath ar thraidisiúin thábhachtacha in go leor tíortha san AE agus mórán dá chóstaí. Mar chuspóir ag an togra seo, tá muid ag brath ar thuairimí agus saineolas ó pháirtithe  a bhfuil dlúthbhaint acu le hobair sa ngeilleagar gorm, an dobharshaothrú go speisialta. Táthar dírithe i dtosach báire ar Chuanta Chill Chiaráin agus Mó mar mhacasamhla bainistithe agus sa limistéar mara taobh thiar den tSionainn chun eolas níos leithne a bhailiú.

Reachtáileadh an chéad chruinniú ar líne i mí Meitheamh. I measc na rannpháirtithe, tá ionadaithe ón mBord Iascaigh Mhara, Páirc na Mara, táirgeoirí agus saineolaithe i réimse an dobharshaoraithe.

Beidh an chéad seisiún eile ar siúl i mí Meán Fómhair. Coinnigh súil amach le haghaidh an scéala is nuaí!

Data collection and single bay areas of focus at this stage.

June 2020 saw the kick-off meeting of a local Access2Sea expert network in Ireland. New opportunities for more competitive and sustainable growth in the Atlantic zone is of course the guiding principle of the project.

Investigating aquaculture management in two bays, blue arrows, as well as general business operating conditions from Bundoran to the Shannon Estuary (red arrows) will be the initial focus for data collection. The narrow spotlight at this stage, nevertheless, aims to improve competitive and sustainable growth from Ceann Mhálainne in Ireland to Cádiz in Spain, including France and Portugal and the UK along the way.

The expert panel is composed of practitioners, planners, regional officers from BIM, the state agency responsible for developing the seafood industry, marine development officials and representatives of the nascent marine innovation campus in Cill Ciaráin Bay.

The issues that exist have been discussed with a plan of action going forward. Keep an eye out for further developments in September.
