🌊 With one of the largest maritime territories in Europe, Ireland’s blue economy is home to 3,000+ companies and 38,900 jobs across our coastal communities and beyond. Opportunities are expanding across science, engineering, shipping, offshore renewable energy, technology, and marine research. A career in Ireland’s marine sector means working on real-world challenges, protecting our ocean, and helping shape a sustainable future. 🌍💙

Yesterday Minister @timmydooley discussed the future of ocean governance & the blue economy with European Commissioner @CostasKadis at the #POLITICOSustainableSummit in Brussels. 🇮🇪🇪🇺🌊
Thankful to @POLITICOEurope and @LeonieACater for an enriching #POLITICOSustainableSummitfireside chat and panel discussion. We focused on the most pressing issues and the progress achieved on the #EUOceanPact with emphasis on the upcoming Ocean Observation Initiative, the implementation of the U.N. High Seas Treaty (BBNJ), the evaluation of the common fisheries policy, the EU's current stance on deep-sea mining and the status of EU progress on Marine Protected Areas. A pleasure to exchange with @timmydooley on the future of ocean governance and blue economy.
