2020

The European research project MOSES involving NUIG Geographers Desiree Farrell, Liam Carr and Frances Fahy seeks to understand and quantify the sustainability dimension of Blue Growth with respect to the potential environmental impacts of key strategic marine sectors across the EU Atlantic Arc member states.  The project is now in the final year and as part of the dissemination of results the team has organised an international Webinar series. Each participating country will host a webinar and NUI Galway is hosting the first in the series on Tuesday 17 November at 1pm  via Zoom.  

The webinar will include presentations on:

• An Introduction to the Wild Atlantic Way -Daithí Gallagher, Fáilte Ireland
• Wild Atlantic Way tourists: A survey of spending, activities and attitudes - Daniel Norton, NUI Galway
• Building a sustainable marine tourism trail through community voices: Rathmullan, Co. Donegal - Desiree Farrell, NUI Galway

 The MOSES Project is funded by the EU INTERREG Atlantic V Programme (2014 to 2020), Priority 4 Enhancing Biodiversity and the Natural and Cultural Assets
