Did you know Ireland has its own underwater jungles? 🌊🦀 🌿 Kelp forests grow up to 2 metres over spring in Ireland, absorbing carbon and creating underwater habitats for hundreds of species. Through Marine Spatial Planning (MSP), Ireland uses special "underwater maps" to organize busy ocean activities—like boat routes and wind farms—so we can use the ocean without harming the fragile kelp forests where fish, crabs, and seals live and play! 🌊🗺️ Check out the Explorers MSP Film Competition for kids.
