Clean Coasts Organisation organised this year's Big Beach Clean.
People littering has an impact on the ocean and inland areas.
That's the warning from the Clean Coasts organisation as over 400 midlands volunteers took part in removing litter during this year's Big Beach Clean.
Over 300 Volunteers in Offaly removed an estimated two tonnes of marine litter, with volunteers in Westmeath removing an estimated 985 kilograms.
Coordinator for the North West Region, Olivia Jones says litter can spread from the midlands to the coast quickly:
