#SpeciesOfTheMonth: Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus)! 🌊

Found all around Ireland’s coasts, this finfish has wavy black stripes, green sides, and a silver belly. Large shoals move inshore in summer and autumn, making it a common catch for anglers! 🐟

We all love to bring snacks for a beach day picnic, but remember: pack it in, pack it out!🥯

Remember to take home every piece of rubbish, food scrap, and personal items you bring to the beach rather than burying, burning, or leaving them behind.✨

Are you ready for the #BigBeachClean26 ? 🌊

Keep an eye out for one of the most common items found on our shores last year: cigarette butts. 🚬

In 2025 cigarette butts were the most frequently found litter item on Ireland’s East Coast and Dublin regions. 💪

From the kitchen sink…to the beach... 🫧

We may never know how this plastic washing up liquid bottle ended up littering our coast.💔

We can puzzle over the many things we find on a #2MinuteBeachClean, the best solution is simple: Pick it up. Protect our coast. 🙌
