Wild Child Day 2

CANCELLED - IWDG Wild Child Day on board RV Celtic Mist

24 August, 11am - 2pm

  • Bantry Marina
  • Bantry, Co. Cork
  • Co. Cork County

This event transforms our research vessel into a dynamic learning environment, utilising every part of the boat—from the deck to the cabin, and even the galley—to showcase our research and conservation work and offer a glimpse into life at sea.

Centered around the theme of "Connections, Routes, and Networks," the guided tour aims to deepen students' understanding of our close link to the ocean. Children will have the opportunity to delve into marine biology, discover the vital role of cetaceans in Irish waters, and see firsthand how research on board contributes to a broader network of environmental stewardship. By highlighting Celtic Mist’s research trips and the crucial data we collect, we aim to inspire the next generation of marine biologists and environmental scientists.

The details of this event will be posted on the IWDG website at iwdg.ie/events closer to the date. Registration is required, but the event will be free of charge.
