Output
With Food Smart Dublin we hope to enhance the value of tangible and intangible coastal cultural heritage for future sustainability by brining back the historical knowledge and taste of local sustainable seafood to the Dublin people. We aim to raise awareness amongst Irish people of being an island nation with a wealth of food and other resources from the ocean around us.
During the course of the Food Smart Dublin project we gave seminars, held workshops, took part in conferences and discussion rounds and appeared in newspaper articles to present and promote our project. We even wrote our own BOOK!
Here you can find key outputs.

Additional Funding
We successfully applied for additional funding from the Marine Institute under their recurring Networking & Travel Award scheme as well as their open access publication scheme. This funding contributed to our interactive, blend - in approach workshop series on sustainable seafood in close collaboratio with Eco-Unesco, specifically, our cooking workshop (workshop 5) with Niall Sabongi. The open access grant enabled our book "One Year of Irish Seafood" be freely available online. Food Smart Dublin appreciates the small grant support from the Marine Institute.
