Bikini-clad eco-warriors have won praise from fans after they volunteered to clean up a beach in Florida.

The Bikini Beach Cleanup group meet to pick-up trash and debris left behind by beach-goers.

The most recent event, held this past weekend in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, saw the bikini-clad social media stars joined by more than a dozen supporters wanting to help with the clean up.

In an Instagram post shared after the clean, organiser Ashley Ricardo revealed they had been working hard in the wake of party-loving Spring Breakers.

She wrote: 'It was a madhouse with Spring Breakers, other festivals, closed parking lots, traffic etc. Plus, I forgot some things I really wanted for clean up BUT, WE ALL showed up and did it!’

 

‘A great group of people who care came together for a beautiful evening of service. We spoke of a world where people were more aware of the impact they leave behind. A place where all animals swam and ran free from trash and pollution.

'Then we got up and put in the work and cleaned the beach for 30 minutes, recycled the bottles and cans and disposed the rest.'

The post has been praised by followers, who hailed the participants as 'incredible'.

One wrote: 'I love this and you girls.' Another added: '#Amazing #day and #pictures Hope to see so many more.'

The clean-ups are supported by swimwear label Bikini Block.

Snaps shared on the group's Instagram account, Bikini Beach Cleanup, shows the swimwear-clad women combing the beach with gloves and buckets in hand.

Ashley also shares informative posts about how followers can better respect the beaches and the dangers that their behavior can pose.

A recent post attacked 'ghost fishing'.
