This week, as part of the Marine Institute's Science Week celebration, four laboratory professionals reveal how their daily work ensures Irish seafood remains among the safest available worldwide.

Throughout November, the Marine Institute’s ‘Ocean of Careers’ video series will showcase the diverse careers that support Ireland's marine environment and blue economy. Aligned with Science Week's national theme “Then. Today. Tomorrow,” the campaign will also explore how marine science has evolved. 

This Science Week, the Marine Institute is sharing the work of three professionals who observe and monitor changes in Ireland’s ocean.
