New coral discovery - catch 'Seascapes'

20th May 2009

This Friday (May 22nd), Tom MacSweeney will tell listeners all about the exciting new discovery in the world of coral on his Seascapes programme (10.30pm, RTÉ Radio 1). There's also a report on new ship recycling rules, Irish Ferries' 30 year anniversary in Pembroke, and news on Irish angling successes.

Wait - there's more: Dun Laoghaire sailor will be Ireland’s only representative in the original OSTAR single-handed Atlantic Race; and a Derryman will lead Cork around the world in the Clipper Race. Well worth tuning in!

Seascapes, presented by RTE’s Marine Correspondent Tom MacSweeney and produced by Marcus Connaughton, is broadcast at 10.30p.m. each Friday night and repeated at 5.02am 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 12.30pm. We hope this note will keep you informed about the programme and that you will remain part of 'the family of the sea,' aboard Seascapes. Call us anytime with your views, news and comments on maritime matters.
