What can you do to help?
The continued survival of the marine
environment depends on your help. Please follow our motto 'Don't Rubbish Our
Sea', and look after our coast.
It is important to minimise the impact of human activity:
Try to avoid anchoring boats within marine reserves.
If you must anchor, do so on kelp covered reef or, preferably sand. Avoid anchoring on sponge gardens or seagrass.
Stow your rubbish, don't throw it. Plastic, ropes and fishing tackle can injure and kill marine life. Dumping rubbish at sea is illegal.
Please take care with liquid wastes such as detergents, fuel and oil, and sewage. These can be toxic to marine life.
Try to walk around plants and animals along the shoreline.
Leave shells where you find them so that they can become homes for other creatures
