We’re delighted to share Coastwatch's upcoming event, unveiling the 1st Survey Results on Marine Litter. This event will bring together experts, stakeholders, and dedicated volunteers to discuss findings and explore actionable solutions for tackling marine litter in Ireland.     The event includes:    🍴 Lunch & Launch by Minister Ossian Smyth at the TCD Pavilion, starting at 1:00 PM.  🐚 Workshop at the M17 Museum Building, where survey insights will be analysed, fostering collaborative discussions on impactful solutions for cleaner coasts.    The Coastwatch Survey, a flagship initiative since 1987, leverages the power of citizen science, gathering vital data on coastal conditions across Ireland and Europe. The data is collected by hundreds of volunteers participating every year in the Coastwatch Survey, giving their time and energy for free. By combining volunteer observations with modern tools like GIS and water testing, this survey paints a crucial picture of our coastal environment. Thanks to the Coastwatch ( Irish Coastal Environment Group - Coastwatch) for the Irish Survey.    Event Details:     📅 November 21, 2024  🕐 1:00 – 3:45 PM  📍 TCD Pavilion & M17 Museum Building, Trinity College Dublin  🎟️ The event is free but ticketed – so make sure to secure your spot  https://lnkd.in/eRK6zX78   Don't miss the chance to contribute to this important conversation and help pave the way for a sustainable marine future!     #MarineLitter #CitizenScience #EnvironmentalAction #CoastalSurvey Zero Pollution: Karin Dubsky, Bernie Connolly, Eoin Dubsky from Coastwatch, more4nature coordinator Uta Wehn, and partners Earthwatch Europe, IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, Polish Smog Alert, NILU, The Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA), RIVM National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, VITO, and Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia    Seas At Risk

Deep interaction with Science, Technology and American History enriched by visiting The Museum of Science and Technology, Historical Monuments in Boston-MA.This was my best practical experience. Extraordinary for my education.

Wise words from Frank Matero regarding the future of our field and the effects of climate change on cultural heritage.

Researchers believe they have found the wreck of the HMS Stephen Furness, a ship that’s been lost to the bottom of the Irish sea along with over 100 crew for more than a century, after it was sunk in WWII. With AHRC funding, the Unpath’d Waters project was able to locate the shipwreck by combining resources and new data through a digital ‘hyper network’, uniting UK’s museums, galleries, libraries and archives. Professor Christopher Smith, Executive Chair for AHRC shares his thoughts: “This is a thrilling discovery and a testament to power AHRC aims to unleash by connecting the disparate collections of information and material held by the UK’s various heritage institutions through the Towards a National Collection project. The exemplary work of the Unpath’d Waters has revealed, at long last, the resting place of over a hundred men who died under tragic circumstances and gives us a tantalising hint at the historical riches concealed within the waters that surround our island. If the work of Towards a National Collection is already leading to finds this exciting, I cannot wait to see what else it might enable in the future.” Find out more on this incredible collaboration and what it means for maritime heritage:  https://lnkd.in/e8pZDpzM

Paravantes says: “I believe that a more complete understanding of the Cold War helps us to re-discover the values upon which open societies function, and what it is that makes such societies unique in human history. It also helps us understand that in international relations and the study of the ways in which states exercise power, often there are no 'good' decisions, just decisions between options with varying degrees of foreseeable negative consequences.” If you want to read Dr. Paravantes's full answer, visit our website https://lnkd.in/dP5nFsqA
