According to an article in Today’s Irish Times, the South Western Regional Fisheries Board has outlined a new five-year plan which involves encouraging whale-watching and scuba-diving.

I had a quick look at their website and couldn’t find any more details, but it sounds like an interesting development and one which local divers should take an interest in. The motivation is to protect the regional fisheries by encouraging wealth-generating sectors that rely on its protection.
