The Irish Sea is a body of water between Great Britain and Ireland, connecting the North Atlantic Ocean with the Celtic Sea.

Great Britain: The largest island in the British Isles, containing England, Scotland, and Wales. Its western coast forms the Irish Sea’s eastern shore.
St George’s Channel: The sea channel between southeastern Ireland and southwestern Wales, linking the Irish Sea to the Celtic Sea. It is the principal southern outlet from the Irish Sea.
Irish Sea ferry routes: Passenger and freight shipping services linking ports around the Irish Sea. Ferries connect communities on opposite shores across the sea.
Irish Sea fisheries: Commercial fishing activity targeting fish and shellfish in the Irish Sea. Fishing has long supported coastal livelihoods while placing pressure on stocks.

North Channel: The narrow strait between northeastern Ireland and southwestern Scotland, joining the Irish Sea to the Atlantic. It provides the sea’s northern connection to the Atlantic.
Port of Liverpool: A major British port on the Mersey estuary, serving trade across the Irish Sea. Liverpool is a major eastern-shore gateway for Irish Sea shipping.
Irish Sea marine pollution: Contamination of Irish Sea waters by sewage, chemicals, plastics, and other pollutants. Pollution from dense coastal populations and shipping affects marine habitats.
Celtic Sea: A region of the Atlantic Ocean south of Ireland and southwest of Great Britain. The Irish Sea opens into it through St George’s Channel.
