Across Divides S2, Ep4: Diving Deep

There are strange and otherworldly creatures at the bottom of the sea. In this episode we meet some of the intrepid divers exploring the depths of Carlingford Lough, hearing about both the wonders and horrors of what they have seen there. It turns out there is an abundance of life, from crabs and anemones to dolphins and seals, but also worrying issues that need to be tackled, including pollution, biodiversity loss, and warming seas. Divers are in a unique position to observe and study undersea environments, and we learn how some of our guests are leading citizen science programs beneath the waves, as well as hearing about their conservation ambitions for Carlingford Lough. It is also important to find ways of sharing their findings with those who don’t have such unique access to our waters, and this is something that can take a dash of creative inspiration.
