The Clean Coasts Roadshow will take place all across Ireland between February and May 2025
The Clean Coasts Roadshows are a series of free talks and workshops for coastal communities which take place all around the coast of Ireland. The Roadshows aim to bring together all whom have an interest in protecting their local beaches, seas, marine life and environment.
The Roadshow events are a mix of talks and workshops covering a variety of topics such as biodiversity, dune systems, marine litter, wildlife, sustainable developments, work by local groups and organisations, and more. Usually, Roadshows are an occasion to discuss how community groups can build capacity with volunteers, attract new members and share the workload amongst the group, as well as look at various funding streams groups can avail of, including our Clean Coasts grant scheme for 2025.
