A webinar will take place to highlight the Island's marine nature reserves.

‘Marine Nature Reserves - the Beating Blue Hearts of Biosphere’ will be broadcast by UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man on Monday, June 21.

The Island’s 10 marine nature reserves are home to a variety of regionally-important, life-giving habitat creatures.

It's the latest in a year-long series delivered by UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man, Dublin Bay Biosphere and Kerry Biosphere in 2021.

The event will run from noon to 1.30pm on Zoom and it is free to sign up.
