Lough Hyne Touch Tanks

The annual Lough Hyne Touch Tanks event run by the Lough Hyne Research Team from the School of Biological Earth and Environmental Sciences made a welcome return for Heritage Week.
Over 200 people attended the event on 13 August at Lough Hyne Marine Nature Reserve near Skibbereen. It was led by Professor Rob McAllen along with Dr Mark Jessopp, Luke Harman, Hannah Brownlow and Professor Ruth Ramsay in collaboration with Skibbereen Heritage Centre.
Visitors had the opportunity to get up close with a variety of marine animals collected from Lough Hyne including starfish, crabs, urchins and sea squirts.
Thanks to all who were involved in the logistics, organisation and running of the event!
