The Skellig Coast A Mission Blue Hope Spot

The Skellig Coast of Ireland is a treasure trove of natural wonders, and it is no surprise that it has recently been designated as a Hope Spot by Mission Blue. This area is home to a vast array of marine life, including whales, dolphins, seals, and a variety of fish species. It is a critical area for the health of the marine environment and is in need of special protection and attention. The Skellig Coast is also steeped in history and culture, with the Skellig Islands being a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist destination.

One organization that is doing its part to protect and preserve the Skellig Coast is Skellig Six18 Distillery, a local distillery that uses sustainable practices and locally sourced ingredients to produce its premium spirits. The distillery is committed to minimizing its environmental impact and supporting the local community.
