On the second episode of the Oceans of Learning podcast series, we’re focusing on ‘Our Ocean: Our Livelihoods’ with presenter Finn van der Aar finding out how Ireland’s ocean economy supports a wide range of industries and jobs.

With a sea territory ten times our land mass, the potential for Irish people and businesses to tap into this marine resource is immense. You’ll hear the stories of four individuals who work in a range of areas from a navy diver to the renewable energy sector and food safety.

Finn speaks to Patricia Comiskey, Ocean Energy Programme Manager at the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), Joe Silke, Director, Marine Environment and Food Safety Services at the Marine Institute, Ireland’s first female navy diver, Tahlia Britton, and Tracey Ryan, herbal alchemist and Managing Director for Codex Beauty Ireland, a plant-based biotech company, who all reveal the influence of the ocean on their work and their lives.
