SEASCAPES, presented by RTE’s Marine Correspondent, Tom MacSweeney and produced by Marcus Connaughton, is repeated at 5.02 a.m. on Monday mornings on RTE Radio 1. The programme is also available as a Podcast and is broadcast twice a week on the Digital Station, RTE Choice, on Wednesday mornings at 7.30 a.m. and Saturday lunchtimes at 12.30 p.m.
Tonight's RTE Seascapes radio programme asks why motorboats are becoming more popular than yachts? In a separate item on Tom MacSweeney's show, he interviews the only men in Ireland who are to be prevented by law from going to work – the country’s fishermen.
The show also features:
* Latest news from the Lifeboat Service
* Inland Waterways Report
* A new marine innovation which gives tidal ‘on-the-go’ information reports to leisure mariners
