Programme

"Beneath the Waves" is an event inspired by the oceans. This year, we welcome the public to St. Joseph's Institution to watch films that capture both the ocean's beauty and the challenges they face. At the same time, come connect with the local conservation groups at their booths and see how you can help too.

Below is an overview of the programme at "Beneath the Waves".
