Whales are amazing ecosystem engineers, helping CO2 move from the atmosphere to the deep ocean. Alongside cutting our emissions, healthy ocean ecosystems are vital for tackling the #ClimateCrisis. If we protect the ocean, it will do the same for us 📽️

Nowhere is this more relevant than in our coastal communities. Coasts & seas are threatened by the absence of public awareness on the damaging impacts developer-led wind turbine construction will have on sensitive marine habitats, and the species that depend on them. Irish Enviro Network

That you have fought for so long to uncover these records must be acknowledged. But why on earth is it necessary to redact such large amounts of data, sometimes the whole record? What is there to hide? Ken Foxe

A very sad example of damage of nitrates and government’s determination to seek derogations. But it’s not too different from all the other circumstances in which they foolishly act for the economy - NOT the environment. More data centres coming soon! Bigger and worse. Friends of the Earth

Is it any wonder we want to protect it from gombeens, slĂ­bhĂ­ns and philistines who would lie & dig it up to line their greasy pockets?

Potential crisis as electricity demand to soar by 45pc. It is telling that the situation from 2028-32 will be eased by the Celtic inter-connector bringing in nuclear-generated power from France and gas fired plants being completed. ⁦Caroline O'Doherty⁩ e-pages.dk/irishindepende…

Today Fintan O'Toole The Irish Times concludes that Ireland can find a place in the world & lays out what is possible. All critical to current State policy on near-shore wind. If we get them right - science, rationality, human rights and international law - then we can win for climate.

Yes & that’s only part of the misinformation. Reaching housing targets will, with no other emissions increases, mean we miss targets . (Ref: Dr Lorcan Sirr, visiting Professor of Housing, School of Law, University of Galway)

The implications of the proposed NISA Wind farm on the birds of Rockabill, Lambay and surrounds. All are welcome to this meeting that will focus on the wonderful birds of Rockabill and Lambay.

A Hen harrier performing a sky dance amidst a sea of sitka spruce. A scene that conveys the total devastation that we have wrought on nature in this country. Nature restoration isnt just a legal obligation its a moral obligation.

An Bord Pleanála made a mistake which cost €650 million with significant environmental consequences - what's the solution? Attack the system for funding mistakes it seems.

Ed Just speeding things up on its own will make things worse. If the system in ABP on a huge project produced what was a fairly basic error isn't fixed, speeding things up will just mean more mistakes

Indicative of careless manner in which marine resources are ‘managed’,& failure to value true climate mitigation. We get a too a blind commitment to consenting wind infrastructure in some of Ireland’s more biodiversity-rich habitats, and permitting the destruction of sea-grass?

Today greeted the sun when it peeped up at 5.33 precisely! A magical morning. As always, a great event. Well done to all. #darknessintolight2025

Uisce Eireann & An Bord Pleanala agreed a JR settlement today that ensured no raw sewage discharges from remaining houses in Howth (not covered by a recent pumping station planning application) would discharge to Doldrum Bay. Thanks to all who helped fund the appeal.

The state of this once beautiful lake is nothing short of criminal. Ireland’s environmental credentials are in the gutter… We support the Coastwatch call to ban slurry & fertiliser.
