6 Facts About Irish Sea

1. Consumption of seafood harvested from the Irish Irish Sea is the main pathway for exposure of humans to radioactivity.

2. Information on the invertebrates of the seabed of the Irish Irish Sea is rather patchy because it is difficult to survey such a large area, where underwater visibility is often poor and information often depends upon looking at material brought up from the seabed in mechanical grabs.

3. Irish Sea has undergone a series of dramatic changes over the last 20,000 years as the last glacial period ended and was replaced by warmer conditions.

4. Irish Sea is connected to the North Atlantic at both its northern and southern ends.

5. The Irish Sea is of significant economic importance to regional trade, shipping and transport, fishing, and power generation in the form of wind power and nuclear power plants.

6. Irish Sea separates the islands of Ireland and Great Britain; linked to the Celtic Sea in the south by St George's Channel, and to the Inner Seas off the West Coast of Scotland in the north by the Straits of Moyle.
