The Clean Coasts programme works with communities to help protect and care for Ireland’s waterways, coastline, seas, ocean and marine life. 

Clean Coasts are creating a tangible and immediate improvement on Ireland’s coastal environment through organising 100s of beach clean-ups each year, mobilising thousands of volunteers, removing large quantities of marine litter from our coastline and promoting and facilitating coastal clean-ups and marine litter surveys.

Clean Coasts has grown over the years and now includes two main national clean-up drives and has expanded to include:
- Green Coast Award
- Love Your Coast Photography competition
- Clean Coasts Roadshows 
- Ocean Talks
- Corporate Volunteering
- Ocean Hero Award
 
Clean Coasts also operate several campaigns in Ireland including Think Before You Flush and international campaigns #2minutebeachclean and Beat the Microbead.

Clean Coasts is one of the An Taisce Environmental Education Unit Programmes.
