Thousands of coastal custodians around Ireland will be participating in the Clean Coasts Week (11-18th) which runs until next Friday.

The theme for the event is "Love Our Coast" which is to empower communities to participate in protecting and celebrating their local coastal environment along the spectacular coastline of Ireland.

The week forms part of An Taisce's Clean Coast Programme which is to emphasise the important role that we can all play, and are playing, in conserving our marine environment.

A list of the headline events in this third Clean Coast Week sponsored by Coca Cola can be viewed by visiting www.cleancoastsweek.ie
