Welcome to another episode of Ours To Protect, as we take a closer look at biodiversity and sustainability in Co Clare.
BannerGleo Liscannor Bay Association is a coastal community group working to support the natural capital and ecological integrity of Liscannor Bay.
The association does this by engaging with visitors and local stakeholders, delivering educational events and activities and completing scientific research and surveys.
The volunteer group, established in 2023, was co-founded by a number of people including Sarah Hegarty.
