The Surfrider Foundation Europe and its many associates is again promoting a Europe and world wide week of local action to clean up our rivers, lakes, and beaches. These events are organised by local clubs and community groups and were a great success last year. There are more than a dozen cleanups taking part around Ireland during the week of 24 - 27 March further details of which can be found if you follow the link below. Many of these events are being organised by local kayak clubs and it may not be too late to register if you wish to take some positive action where you live or to get out and join in the fun with one already on the map.
