Clean Coasts, supported by Cully and Sully, are encouraging people across Cork to register for The Big Beach Clean.
The Big Beach Clean is an annual call to action and this year it will run from 16th to 18th September.
This call-to-action invites communities and volunteers around the country to remove litter from around the Irish coast after the end of the Summer season.
It is also an opportunity for volunteers to get involved in a worldwide citizen science project, as well as raising awareness around the issue of marine litter.
In 2021, a record number of over 400 clean-ups were organised by volunteers who removed 42 tonnes of litter across the whole country. This represented a 5% decrease in litter found across Ireland, compared to the previous year campaign, which reflects the incredible work that Irish volunteers do all year round to tackle litter, as well as more conscious behaviours by beach users.
Cullen Allen (Cully) said:
“We are delighted to be back supporting the Big Beach Clean for 2022. This event has been growing every year and is certainly one of the most important events in the Cully & Sully diary. We are big beach & water fans in Cully & Sully and we fully realize the importance of keeping our beaches and waterways clean and useable for everyone to enjoy. We will be encouraging all of our customers and friends to sign up for Big Beach Clean 2022. Let’s make it the biggest Big Beach Clean yet.. get signing up now! .”
