Clean Coasts Ireland

Clean Coasts engages communities in the protection of Ireland’s beaches, seas and marine life. The programme is operated by the Environmental Education Unit of An Taisce and is currently funded by the Department of the Housing, Planning and Local Government, and Fáilte Ireland. The Clean Coasts volunteering effort engages communities in the protection and conservation of their local coastal environment. 

There are currently over 1,800 registered Clean Coasts groups in Ireland and last year over 37,000 volunteers engaged with the programme.
