Healthy Oceans Healthy Minds

Explore the wonders of our blue spaces!

Healthy Oceans Healthy Minds, supported by Belfast Harbour, is all about celebrating the powerful connection between the health of our oceans and waterways and our own wellbeing. The campaign encourages people of all ages to get outside, enjoy our beautiful blue spaces and discover how spending times by the water can benefit both our mental and physical wellbeing.

Throughout August, people got involved in a fantastic range of events, including beach cleans, water sports, mindfulness sessions and family-friendly activities. Whether trying something new, learning more about our local coastline or simply spending time outdoors, there was something for everyone.
