A huge thank you and well done to everyone, including the 12th Mayo Mulranny Scouts, who volunteered at the Mulranny Big Beach Clean today. We, along with other communities, across the country and the world, recorded the data of the items found contributing to a global effort to combat marine litter. A huge amount of litter was collected. A special thanks to John for collecting the bags with his quad and Olivia from Clean Coasts who came along too. We found a beautiful stone appropriate to the day on the beach. Love your coast❤️

Please come along to Murrivaugh Beach on Saturday, the 21st of September at 1pm. We will have some Cleaning Kits available or please bring along your own gloves and pickers if you have them.
This year as Clean Coasts volunteers we are asked to be part of a round the world citizen science data collection project and to carry out marine litter surveys to quantify the amount and types of litter on Irish beaches. These surveys are aimed at heightening awareness about the issue of marine litter and serve as an indicator of the magnitude of the problem. Survey sheets will be provided on the day. Please spread the word, come along on the day and help to keep our beautiful beaches clean!
