The event will take place in The Mariner Hotel in Westport.
The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (IWDG), in collaboration with Fair Seas, is set to visit Westport, Mayo, on Thursday, February 26, as part of a series of free in-person evening events in coastal towns around Ireland.
The Local Groups Roadshow aims to connect coastal communities and local members of the Irish Whale and Dolphin with the latest developments in Marine conservation, marine protected areas (MPAs), and the future of Ireland’s seas.
Fair Seas is a coalition of eNGOs in Ireland that aims to build a movement for ocean stewardship and to lobby the government for a coherent network of effective MPAs.

“We have local IWDG groups right around the country, and each one is playing an important role.
“Citizen science is at the heart of everything we do; without people sharing what they see on our coasts, we simply wouldn’t have the data we need to understand and protect Ireland’s whales, dolphins and seas,” said Eva Lambert, Marine Policy and Advocacy Officer with the IWDG.
The evening will include short presentations from IWDG and Fair Seas, guest speakers, a short film screening, and an open discussion with attendees.
The Westport-based event is free to attend and will take place at The Mariner Hotel from 5.30pm to 8pm.
