The Fair Seas Conference was held last week at Cork City Hall to mark World Oceans Week.

There could not have been a more fitting backdrop for the event than Cork City Hall, overlooking Cork Harbour—the second largest natural harbour in the world.

The conference welcomed 250 delegates from across Ireland and internationally to discuss the future of marine protection.

Taking place during the Cork Harbour Festival, attendees had the chance to explore the area with a trip on Cork Harbour Cruises and go aboard the RV Tom Crean. The festival’s famous life-sized basking shark ‘Banba’ was also on display in the harbour alongside the Nao Santa Maria ship.

With today marking World Ocean Day, the central focus of the conference remains highly urgent: driving cross-sector collaboration to achieve Ireland’s target of protecting 30% of our waters by 2030.

In the video below, Jack O’Donovan from Fair Seas and other participants discuss the key takeaways from the day, the importance of shared ocean stewardship, and the experience of gathering in Cork.

Well done to the organising committee at Fair Seas, Margaret O’Regan, and all the delegates on a highly impactful event here in the city.
