The health of Inishturk’s marine environment is inseparable from life on land and from the wider Clew Bay system. The island is deeply committed to marine stewardship, from community-led shoreline clean-ups to addressing marine debris that arrives on our shores from far beyond the island itself.

Working with mainland partners and neighbouring communities, we are exploring and trialling innovative approaches to underwater marine litter removal, while documenting outcomes and sharing learning across the bay and beyond.
