Coastcare
Coastcare comprises voluntary groups around the Irish coast who adopt their favourite beach or stretch of coastline to focus on its on-going care.
The aim of the programme is to involve local people in caring for their local coastal environment, by promoting and supporting safe enjoyable conservation activities, such as beach clean-ups, awareness raising and practical countryside tasks.
