survey of coastal areas and rivers has found most beaches across the country are not clean.
Beaches, harbours, rivers and their surrounding areas were monitored by An Taisce in June and July of this year. The survey found a 50% rise in 'clean sites', however, coastal areas are more littered than towns.IBAL spokesperson Conor Horgan, said they had expected to find clean and litter-free beaches as the recent bad weather has kept visitors away.
Unfortunately, this does not reflect the state of our coastal environment. There's much 'long lie' litter and waste coming in from the sea, and this is compounded by litter from those who continue to frequent our coastline despite the inclement weather."Mr Horgan said,"Brittas Bay was clean, Curracloe in Wexford, Killiney in Dublin were clean, so was Salthill in Galway, and Tramore in Waterford. These are all busy beaches.
