The 'Clean Coast Project' was established to improve the environment of the Irish and Welsh coasts; to restore their aesthetic appeal; and to increase their amenity & economic value to their communities and visitors.
The project is a partnership between An Taisce - The National Trust for Ireland and Keep Wales Tidy, under the Maritime INTERREG IIIA Programme.
The two aspects of the project are:
- Establishing and operating an environmental award scheme called the Clean Coast Award
- Involving local communities in beach management called Coastcare.
