Irish Sea

The Irish Sea is the body of water separating the island of Ireland from Great Britain. It connects to the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the North Channel in the north, serving as a significant route for transportation and shipping. The sea's shallow areas support rich marine life, and it has economic importance due to fishing, oil, and gas deposits. Major ports like Dublin and Liverpool are situated along its coast, facilitating trade between Ireland, the UK, and beyond. The Irish Sea plays a key role in regional geography, influencing weather patterns and ecological systems in the area.
