CLEAN Coasts, supported by Cully and Sully, is asking participants to sign up for the Big Beach Clean initiative which takes place next month in Kerry and around the country.
In 2022, over 500 clean-up events took place and volunteers made an incredible impact by removing 42 tonnes of litter from the Irish coast and inland locations.
As Clean Coasts celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023, the aim is to make this year’s Big Beach Clean the most remarkable one yet.
