IRISH environmental programme Clean Coasts is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and in honour of this milestone, over 300 groups in Ireland, including 27 in County Kerry, have registered to carry out a clean-up during the week around World Ocean Day.
Clean-ups will be happening in groups of all sizes, from individuals, friends and families to community groups, tidy towns groups, schools, sports groups etc…and they are set to happen in different locations throughout the county, including in Banna, Castlegregory, Fenit, Inch Beach, along the Wild Atlantic Way, and along Sneem Riverbanks.
Volunteers who haven’t registered their own clean-up are encouraged to join one of these events (see links below).

World Ocean Day is celebrated annually on June 8th to highlight the important role the ocean has for our life and the planet.
Marine litter has become a global problem for humans and marine life alike. However, communities around Ireland have demonstrated their desire to be part of the solution by taking part in several beach cleaning calls to action. Making sure litter is collected and disposed of properly at the source is vital for a cleaner ocean and a greener world for all of us to enjoy.
People who haven’t registered their clean-up can still join an existing one. For more information, please visit Clean Coasts’ event page.
