14 groups and 200 volunteers are set to join the Big Beach Clean this weekend in Donegal, to remove marine litter and be part of an international citizen science project.
People in Ireland who did not register their own event can still participate in the call-to-action, by joining an existing public event to make a positive impact on the Irish coast and waterways in County Donegal.
Clean-ups will take place in various locations, including Stroove Beach, Buncrana Beach, Culdaff Beach, Rossnowlagh Beach and Ballintra Village.
A full list of public clean-ups happening in Donegal as part of the Big Beach Clean can be found on the Clean Coasts website.
In 2022, more than 500 clean-up events were organised, with participants removing an astounding 42 tonnes of litter from Irish coastal areas and inland locations. With Clean Coasts celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the 2023 Big Beach Clean aims to surpass all expectations and make an even bigger impact.
