Last weekend Coastwatch had a table at the Dublin Rose Festival. I helped out teaching kids, and even parents, about seashells and marine life. We also launched a poster with all the seashells found around the Dublin area. I got to meet the Lord Mayor of Dublin which was pretty exciting!
This past weekend I went out to Galway with Coastwatch to launch results for a marine litter survey in 2014. The survey is done all around Ireland by volunteers and looks at the marine litter and biodiversity of the shores. Our trip was short, only for the day, but it was nice to be out on the west coast and be able to share our data with others.

Going on 4 weeks and I feel like I've been here forever. The past few weeks I've sadly had to say bye to some friends I only just met. It's weird that their time here is over when mine has only just begun but I guess that's just the nature of the program we are in. Though it does make me think about what it's going to be like when I have to leave come October. Saying goodbye to Ireland again is going to be heartbreaking that's for sure. Thankfully I still have a little more than 2 months here.
