DBOGA invites you to join our next Zoom session on Dublin Bay Nature, which will be given by Richard Nairn on Thursday, 22nd April at 20:00hrs.

Dublin Bay is one of the most intensively studied coastal areas in Ireland and much is known about its marine life, birds and mammals. The tide fills the bay twice a day refreshing the shore and bringing seawater into contact with fresh water from the land. Some of the best examples of sand flats, dunes, saltmarsh, rocky shores, cliffs, islands and offshore sandbanks, all special European habitats, are found in Dublin Bay. The North Bull Island is among the best surviving sand dune-saltmarsh systems in the country. This illustrated talk will highlight the most interesting areas and summarise some recent research on nature in the Bay.

Richard Nairn is an ecologist and writer who has published five books and was joint author of Dublin Bay: Nature and History (Collins 2017). He has done extensive monitoring of birds in the Bay and has provided environmental services to Dublin Port Company for over a decade. He has swum, fished, sailed and walked throughout Dublin Bay since the 1960s.
