There’s something amazing in the waters off the West Coast that has solved a mystery of the natural world. That’s one of the topics on this month’s edition of the Maritime Ireland Radio Show, which also discusses the “spatial squeeze” between wind energy developers, Ireland’s inshore fishermen and other marine area users. Will the Irish Government protect the rights of all users? And what is in the waters off the Clare coast that has made them a world renowned location for marine courtship?The programme also talks to a crane driver unloading ships from 50 metres high above them and ntroduces a new maritime history feature, THE TURNING OF THE TIDE, drawing on material from the programme archives.
