Clean Coasts and Fáilte Ireland are teaming up in Cork for a Wild Atlantic Way clean-up event on July 16th.
The meeting point for the clean up is the Inchydoney Beach public car park at 10am, where participants will be welcomed by a Clean Coasts Officer and given a safety introduction as well as a Clean Coasts kit.
With staycations still proving popular after the pandemic, Clean Coasts is reminding people to protect and care for Ireland's coastlines, seas, and marine life by ensuring they are free of litter.
Shane Dineen, Fáilte Ireland Planning & Environment Manager said;
“The Irish coastline and its beaches are an important part of the visitor experience in Ireland. Outdoor water-based activities such as swimming, kayaking and surfing, are popular attractors for domestic and international tourists, and our stunning coastline, rivers and lakes are the bedrock upon which Irish tourism has been built. As they are now being enjoyed more and more by local communities and visitors it is vital that we all play our part to keep our beaches clean so that they can be enjoyed for years to come. Local communities are at the heart of so many great visitor experiences in Ireland and the Clean Coasts groups are a prime example of this, custodians driven by local pride and a vision to protect and enhance our coastline which in turn offers visitors unique opportunities for connection, learning and enjoyment of our natural assets.”
