Another clean up.
Why?
Because I love the ocean.
Because I can.
Because I know how vital the ocean is.

โIf everybody in Ireland did a #2MinuteBeachClean per month, that would be more than 100,000 tonnes of litter removed from our ocean this year.โ

A close up picture of what is apparently Sea Holly growing in the sand dunes at the top of a beach. Had to look this up.
A picture of some Purpletop Vervain with a white wall behind. Yes I had to look this up as well.
Close up of my fingers holding a plastic water bottle & blue carrier bag heading to the recycling & rubbish bins near the beach.
A green plastic sand mould in the shape of a cute dragon laying on the sand. Finders keepers!
Took advantage of the nice cool temperatures to enjoy some Vitamin Sea with a trip to the coast ๐ Had a dip, cleared a little beach litter & found a new friend ๐ ๐คฉ #2minutebeachclean #Litter #environment #ThursdayBins (sorry no wheelies).
What can we do about plastic waste in coastal areas?
Clean Coasts share some practical ways to get involved and help to tackle this crisis โ plus some useful advice on how to not feel overwhelmed

Every piece of rubbish is an opportunity to act, to care, and to change the story
Remember, one simple act makes it normal for others to care too. Be that changemaker

A black plastic bag containing beach litter with two pairs of litter pickers to the side.
A little time spent picking up beach litter with my son this afternoon, a lot of it is fishing twine #BeachClean #GhostFishingGear #WorldOceanDay #Take3ForTheSea #2MinuteBeachClean #BeatPlasticPollution #CleanSeas #CleanCoasts #ProtectMarineLife #Rathlin #Sustainability

Did a small beach clean at Shoeburyness today, just a bag of wrappers, a glove & half a plastic container. #Recycling #PlasticPollution #2MinuteBeachClean @2minutehq.bsky.social
A bundle of rope, plastic and seaweed.
2pieces of useful rope and some useless stuff. #2MinuteBeachclean #uist #beach
Just made a wind chime out of #2minutebeachclean rope and old copper pipe. Just need a force 10 gale now.
Love where I live ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ

This handsome boy just turned 10, but he looks sad because someone's birthday balloon has ended up on the beach ๐ข posing a danger to wildlife ๐ฆญ . Thankfully it has now been disposed of properly. ๐ ๐ ๐ #2minutebeachclean
Four sandy shells sit under water in a plastic container - 2 Chinese limpets, one dog whelk and a cowrie.
On the lid of a wheelie bin, a collection of plastic bottles, polystyrene and bright blue and green string.
Few shells survived the wild weather but plenty to fill a #2minuteBeachClean #uist #beach
