THE Big Beach Clean 2024 is back and Clean Coasts are asking the people of Kerry to register to join the campaign.

From September 20th to 22nd, volunteers across the county and country will gather to clean our beautiful beaches and contribute to a global effort to combat marine litter. This year the initiative is proudly supported by Kia Ireland.

In 2023, over 400 groups registered to host a clean-up, with 7,700 Clean Coasts volunteers removing a staggering  46 tonnes of litter all across the country.

After signing up, participants will receive everything they need to conduct a successful beach clean and carry out a marine litter survey, by filling in the Marine Litter Data Cards or using the Clean Swell App.

By participating in the Big Beach Clean and submitting the information on the types and quantities of litter you collect, participants will help make Ireland’s voice heard on a global scale.

The data collected by our volunteers in previous years have informed national campaigns such as “Bin the Butt” and “Break Up With Plastic”.

Bronagh Moore, An Taisce’s Clean Coasts Manager commented “We are delighted to announce that registrations for the Big Beach Clean 2024 are now open. Every piece of litter removed and reported not only contributes to cleaner beaches but can lead to impactful campaigns and healthier oceans.”
