#SpeciesOfTheMonth: Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus)! 🌊 Found all around Ireland’s coasts, this finfish has wavy black stripes, green sides, and a silver belly. Large shoals move inshore in summer and autumn, making it a common catch for anglers! 🐟 #Biodiversity #FunFact

We all love to bring snacks for a beach day picnic, but remember: pack it in, pack it out!🥯 Remember to take home every piece of rubbish, food scrap, and personal items you bring to the beach rather than burying, burning, or leaving them behind.✨ #SmallActionsBigImpact #2MinuteBeachClean

Plastic doesn't disappear when we're done with it, but together we can stop it from becoming beach litter. 🍼 Next time you're at the beach take just 2 minutes of your time to pick up a few pieces of litter and leave the beach a little cleaner than you found it. ✨ #2MinuteBeachClean #CleanCoasts
