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?

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.
