A group of ‘Ocean Heroes’ from the Dive Academy in Lahinch joined Gavin on air to discuss why they’ve been named Business of the Year in Clean Coasts Awards.
Dive Academy collected around 200kg of debris, filling over 20 sacks (140kg) of refuse during the Big Beach Clean, along with several large objects (a metal fence-post, a tangled mass of rope, a car battery, plastic panels and sheets).
