Big Beach Clean 2021 – Greystones Beach

About this event

This year’s Greystones Big Beach Clean 2021 will take place on Saturday, the 18th of September from 10:00am-11:30am.

The Big Beach Clean is a Clean Coasts initiative as part of the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC), operated internationally by Ocean Conservancy. This call to action takes place in September and invites communities and volunteers around the country to remove litter from around the Irish coast after the end of the bathing season.

During the Big Beach Clean, Clean Coasts volunteers are asked to carry out marine litter surveys to quantify the amount and types of litter on Irish beaches. These surveys are aimed at heightening awareness about the issue of marine litter and serve as an indicator of the magnitude of the problem.

This event is also taking place over the same weekend as World Clean Up Day, which unites more than 20 million people in 180 countries, who come together to tackle litter.

Places are limited so register while you can.

*Please ensure to wear suitable clothing, footwear and protection required for the weather: e.g., warm clothes, waterproofs, and sun cream. We also ask people to keep a 2-meter distance throughout the event.

**If you start to have any symptoms of Covid-19, please do not attend the event and consult a medical professional.

Any questions, please email Suzanne at slongmuir@eeu.antaisce.org
