Two Clean Coast Hero Awards are coming back to Donegal.
The annual awards, hosted by An Taisce, celebrate those making a difference for our local marine environment.
Fanad Coastal Group and students from the Loreto Community School in Milford were winners of the Youth Initiative Award.
They worked to protect the Whiteshore beach over the last year, creating a sand dune restoration project.
Also, Patricia McAteer of the White Harte Bar in Rathmullan won the Community Champion (Business Award).
She founded the Rathmullan Coastal Care group in 2013, and helped to found the Coastal Warriors in 2015.
