Two Kerry community groups have been nominated for three awards in this year’s Ocean Hero Awards run by the Clean Coasts organisation.
Fenit Coast Conservation has been shortlisted for the Local Action Award and Maharees Conservation Association CLG is nominated for both the Beach Clean Award category and the Special Achievement Award.
Each year, the Ocean Hero Awards honour the invaluable contribution Clean Coasts volunteers, groups and communities have made towards conserving the spectacular coastline.
This year a total of 28 groups, organisations and individuals are shortlisted for eight specific categories.
This year, the organisers are hosting the awards ceremony in person for the first time in two years after two years of alternative celebrations.
