Call for Cork people to join in on Big Beach Clean 2024

Clean Coasts are asking Cork people to register to join their ‘Big Beach Clean’ 2024.

From September 20-22, volunteers across Ireland will gather to clean their local beaches, proudly supported by Kia Ireland.

In 2023, more than 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, which contributes to global data and influences environmental policies worldwide.

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 leads to impactful campaigns and healthier oceans.”

Cathal Kealey, head of marketing at Kia Ireland added: “In line with to our global clean up initiatives designed to combat ocean pollution, we urge as many people as possible to register for their local beach clean in September.”
