The site of the MV Shingle, which was sank into Killala Bay to create Ireland's first artificial reef and a diving tourism hotspot, appears to be teeming with marine life just weeks after its historic sinking.
In mid-September, the former smuggling vessel was sank into Killala Bay as part of the Ships 2 Reef Project and already, the location is paying dividends for marine life.
In the video below, shared by local councillor and diving enthusiast Michael Loftus, you can see dozens of dolphins feeding on fish that have been attracted to the site of the MV Shingle.
