Northern Ireland visit
Staff from the Irish Sea Conservation Zones project will spend three days in Northern Ireland later this month to explain how the project is working and how local fishermen can get involved.
 
They will be in Portavogie on May 26th- 27th and Ardglass on May 28th to coincide with high tide.
 
The visit has been arranged with the help of the Northern Irish Fish Producers Organisation.
