Did You Know? 🐬Dolphins use echolocation—bouncing sound waves off objects—to "see" and hunt in the ocean! 🔊
Through Marine Spatial Planning (MSP), Ireland uses maps to plan underwater noise from big ocean projects, helping keep the seas quiet enough for dolphins to navigate and find food! 🌊🗺️ Check out the Explorers MSP Film Competition for kids. For more details at www.explorers.ie

🦭 Ireland is home to Grey and Harbour seals! As "true seals," they don't have ear flaps, just tiny ear holes behind their eyes. 🦭👀
Scientists map where seals rest and hunt so Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) can guide busy ocean activities to the right places, helping protect their habitats and keeping Ireland's waters balanced! 🌊🗺️ Check out the Explorers MSP Film Competition for kids. For more details at www.explorers.ie
