Our YACC and the Bunmahon Tidy Towns group came together to run a beach clean on June 7th at 11am the day before World Oceans Day. Massive thanks to Bunmahon Tidy Towns and local residents for joining in.
The YACC prioritise working with groups and communities to make their local areas greener and cleaner. They work on so many things and events in order to engage people on the climate conversation from cleans to open mics to panel discussions with local decision makers.
Fun Facts -
🪸Coral reefs support a quarter of all marine species despite covering less than 1% of the ocean floor. They are often called the "rainforests of the sea."
🦦Sea otters hold hands while sleeping to keep from drifting apart. They also use tools, like rocks, to open shellfish.
🪼Jellyfish have been around for over 500 million years, making them older than dinosaurs. 🦖
🐋The blue whale is the largest animal ever known to have existed, even larger than the biggest dinosaurs. They can weigh up to 200 tons and be as long as 100 feet.
⭐️Starfish can regenerate lost arms. In some cases, an entire new starfish can grow from a single lost arm.
🦈Sharks don't have bones. Their skeletons are made of cartilage, the same flexible tissue in human noses and ears.
⚡️Electric eels can generate an electric shock of up to 600 volts to stun prey and defend against predators.
