Irish authorities found a unique solution for a seized vessel, turning the MV Shingle into Ireland’s first artificial reef. Sunk off the coast of Killala Bay, the reef is expected to attract marine life, tourists, and researchers. Supported by local councils, the project aims to boost sustainable tourism along the Wild Atlantic Way.
