Tackling erosion at Morriscastle Strand
Locals from Kilmuckridge and surrounding areas on 30th April 2022. Wexford County Council has taken steps to combat erosion at some coastal beaches, including Morriscastle Strand. The dune beside the entrance to the beach has been suffering from quite severe erosion, so the Council arranged for chestnut pail fencing to be erected in sections that could help keep people off while planting takes place.
Clean Coasts teamed up with Wexford County Council to do marram grass planting sessions within these fenced areas. The first day was with locals from Kilmuckridge and surrounding areas on 30th April, and the second day was with students from Coláiste an Átha, Kilmuckridge, on 19th May, which was the day before Morriscastle Strand received the 2022 Blue Flag Award. n
