Episode 7 - Our Coastline
Waterford's sprawling coastline is 147 kilometres long, boasting 49 beautiful beaches along the way. It is a massive resource, not only to the local economy but also to the environment. In this episode, 7 'Our Coastline', Aoibhin speaks to those who are trying to protect the coastline and the sea, such as members of the Tramore Eco group who carry out weekly beach clean-ups. She speaks to Waterford's harbour master about what the port is doing to protect our waters. And former fishermen from Dunmore East talk about how the fishing industry, particularly smaller fishermen, is under threat. We also hear about a quirky initiative being undertaken by Ardmore Tidy Towns and a group of goats!
