World Oceans Day 2024: protecting Ireland's salt marshes
Thursday, 6 June, 2024
Is it true that coastal wetlands are more effective than tropical forests at fighting climate change? Can the public explore Ireland's salt marshes - or should we just leave them be?
Ahead of World Oceans Day on Saturday, we speak to coastal wetland ecologist Dr Grace Cott on the UCD Sustainability podcast.
A lecturer in the UCD School of Biology and Environmental Science, Grace tells us about her work in the Blue Carbon Group protecting Ireland's salt marshes - and suggests ways of celebrating World Oceans Day.
