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.
