Clean Coasts

What do you do when your #2MinuteBeachClean is giving you the side eye? 👀 Snap a pic, have a laugh, and share it with #CleanCoasts of course! 📸 Thank you to Thérèse for the photo. 🙌

Our final destination for our post festive tour of Ireland's beautiful coastal locations is Liscannor Bay during a dreamy winter sunset over the swimming spot in Clahane! 🌅 Remember to #ThinkB4UFlush to protect stunning coastal views like this one! 💙 @irishwater

What happens next? 🤔 This piece of polystyrene might look harmless but left on the beach it breaks down into tiny pieces. 🚫 Pick it up today and you will have prevented it from becoming thousands of micro-plastic pieces that harm wildlife. 🙌🌊#2MinuteBeachClean

#ThinkB4UPour top tip! 👌 Use kitchen towel to remove fats, oils, and greases from plates, pots, and pans before washing and never, ever pour them down the drain! 🚰 @irishwater

Winter brings short days, chilly winds and wild seas. 🥶 Sometimes it's hard to find the motivation to get to the beach but 99% of the time you will be so glad you made the effort. 🌊👏 Don't forget to do a #2MinuteBeachClean while you are there. 💪#SmallActionsBIGImpact

Not all sensitive aquatic environments are coastal. 🌊 The Burren national park hosts crystal clear fresh water turloughs that appear and vanish depending on the season and levels of rainfall. 🌧️To protect these precious waterways remember to #ThinkB4UFlush. 🙌 @irishwater

🐚When we slow down to do a #2MinuteBeachClean, we notice more. 👀 The beach isn't just scenery; it's home to living things like this By-The-Wind-Sailor (Velella velella). 🌀 Let's protect it and all coastal wildlife two minutes at a time. #CleanCoasts
