Let’s Talk Water
We are on a mission to promote ocean and water literacy and, in this view, we are starting a new series of events called “Let’s Talk Water”, which are aimed at promoting stories of connection with water from across Ireland, so we are looking for speakers!
All types of stories are welcome, from academic research to arts and community projects concerning our ocean, lakes, rivers, canals and transitional waters.
This first series of “Let’s Talk Water” events will take place between February and May 2025.

Galway Atlantaquaria, Ireland’s Largest Native Species Aquarium.
Welcome to Galway Atlantaquaria, a Multi-Award-Winning Attraction, located in the Heart of Salthill, on the shores of Galway Bay, the Blue Heart of the Wild Atlantic Way.
Our Aquarium cares for over 100 Native Aquatic Species from Ireland’s Lakes, Rivers, and Ocean. Our Exhibits open up the ‘Often Invisible’ World of Aquatic Life that surrounds our shores.
Key features of the Aquarium include.
- Species native to Ireland.
- Exhibits that are unique to Ireland’s fishing heritage.
- Education & Conservation exhibits combined with Ocean Literacy.
Other exhibits include the museum-quality Bearna Log Boat, which is over 5 thousand years old, a Huge 60 ft (18 m) Fin Whale Skeleton, and naturally, a Galway Hooker traditional sailing boat.
Galway Atlantaquaria’s Visitor Engagement Team are CREW trained, and are a part of Fáilte Ireland’s Local Experts, and Key Account programs.
Being both a BIAZA and an EAZA Aquarium, our ethos is on Animal Welfare, Education, and of course, Sustainability/Conservation.
