The Clean Coasts programme works with communities to help protect and care for Ireland’s waterways, coastline, seas, ocean and marine life. 

What do we do?

Clean Coasts create a tangible improvement of Ireland’s coastal environment by supporting over 2000 community groups to host beach clean-ups, empower volunteers, facilitating marine litter surveys and complete a range of environmental focused activities in their region.

Through its growth and expansion, Clean Coasts also includes:

  • Green Coast Award
  • Love Your Coast Photography competition
  • Clean Coasts Roadshow
  • Clean Coasts Grants Scheme
  • Corporate Volunteering
  • Ocean Hero Award

 

Several campaigns are also operated by Clean Coasts, such as Think Before You Flush and the #2MinuteBeachClean.

Think Before You Flush is a public awareness campaign about the problems non flushable items cause in our marine environment and wastewater systems.
