Hello
I am posting to let you know of a book I
am writing and researching called The Sea; What it Means to Me. I
would love to have a contribution from you on what the sea means to you
personally in the book. Of course in the book names and businesses will be
mentioned so a bit of advertising for you too :)I'm writing and looking for
contributions from some sea souls and all walks of life really, just to show
how important the sea is to us as a nation. Not just resources and work-wise
but neurologically how we are wired to it and it gives us different emotions,
feelings and allows us to survive and have amazing experiences in our life. I
really just want to get the message out there that the sea is special to all of
us no matter who we are. I would like to build a better connection and instil a
sense of appreciation and responsibility towards the sea creating marine stewardship
all in a very positive way. The sea has given me so much in life that it would
be nice to give something back. Part of the proceeds would go to Irish Life
boats and Irish Whale and Dolphin Group.
I
recently set up Sea Synergy Marine Awareness & Activity Centre in Waterville, Co. Kerry to raise awareness of Irish
marine life and marine conservation and was featured in TV3 Dream job for being
passionate about my work you can check it out on LH

Below
is a short description of the book:
The book The Sea; What it Means to Me raises awareness
of the importance of the sea and the potential the sea has for Ireland and the
people of Ireland. It incorporates interesting and fun facts and figures
of the industries and resources Ireland gains from the sea and gives a range of
different people’s perspective on the sea and what it means to them. Written by Marine Biologist Lucy Hunt with
contributions from fishermen, seafarers, Olympians, scientists, surfers
and national sporting icons, this book is a uniquely holistic insight
into the innate connection the people of Ireland have with our first frontier
and aims to increase
peoples’ sense of responsibility and enthusiasm for the marine environment
encouraging marine stewardship. Part of the proceeds will go towards charities
such as Irish Life boats and the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group.
The sea is special to us in many
different ways and your contribution on how the sea makes you feel, what it has
done for you in your life and how you have connected with the sea may inspire
many others to respect the sea as much as you do.
If you have any queries regarding
the book please feel free to call me on 0877850929 or email me on seasynergy@gmail.com Should you know of anyone
else that might be interested in this project and contribute please forward on
their contact details or send them on this email.
If
you were able to write a page or less (500words) on what the sea means to you
and include a photo of you and the sea, it would be a great asset to the
book. I will need all contributions in before the end of April if
possible.
I look forward to hearing from
you,
Kindest regards,
Lucy
