Ships ahoy at marine festival in Cork
The festival will take place on July 10-11 and Mr Coveney hopes it will draw thousands of people to Cork harbour where they will experience seafood, sailing, ocean lectures, movie screenings, visits on board Irish Naval vessels, and all manner of seafaring family fun.
The event is being organised by the Marine Institute and follows the success of the ‘Our Ocean Wealth’ conference, which took place last year in Dublin. It attracted more than 500 marine researchers, investors, and industry figures who discussed innovation, investment and opportunities presented by the blue economy.
