Does better societal acceptance of shellfish aquaculture make it more likely to be featured in popular art? Does artistic representation of shellfish aquaculture make it more likely to be embraced by the public? Some of both? Some postcards from France…

ERI Director @BOGallachoir discusses Ireland's progress on the renewable energy transition on @rte. There are many wind farm applications currently going through the planning system, but the process time is taking far too long.
Delighted to speak with @mcculld on @rtenews last night about the challenges facing Ireland as we seeks to accelerate renewables growth and energy transition. Wind energy in Ireland grew by only 4% in 2023, due to an effectively 'stalled' planning system that needs resourcing.

Great to see the #HorizonEU @BlueAdaptEu project highlighted at #HERCONF24 involving partners from Wales, Ireland and across Europe. Links across the Irish Sea connecting to wider partnerships.
Inspiring to hear about the UK-Ireland collaborations involving our members, listening to @BangorUni's Professor Shelagh Malham highlight their role in the Horizon Europe project to study the impact of climate change on coastal pathogens. 🌊#HERCONF24
