The Marine Institute has been selected as a finalist in the SEAI Energy Awards 2025, recognising a decade of sustainability action at the Marine Institute. From transitioning research vessels to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), to powering offices and research facilities with on-site solar energy and achieving top-tier My Green Lab sustainability accreditation for six laboratories, the Marine Institute is leading climate action by example. 

This week, as part of the Marine Institute's Science Week celebration, four laboratory professionals reveal how their daily work ensures Irish seafood remains among the safest available worldwide.

Throughout November, the Marine Institute’s ‘Ocean of Careers’ video series will showcase the diverse careers that support Ireland's marine environment and blue economy. Aligned with Science Week's national theme “Then. Today. Tomorrow,” the campaign will also explore how marine science has evolved. 

This Science Week, the Marine Institute is sharing the work of three professionals who observe and monitor changes in Ireland’s ocean.
