Bord Iascaigh Mhara's maritime festival is a celebration of our ocean wealth

The country’s seafood industry will have much to celebrate and many challenges to ponder in Galway this coming weekend when Bord Iascaigh Mhara holds its second maritime festival.

Following a successful inaugural event in Cork last year, SeaFest is now firmly established as an annual salute to all things marine.

It will do so through a programme of discussions, exhibitions, produce and cookery demonstrations, fish tastings, tours of ocean going vessels and entertainment from June 30 to July 3.
