Our beaches are the bridge between our world and the ocean. Beaches are fragile environments. We must be attentive in how we treat these stretches of land.
It is necessary to keep our beaches clean if we hope to keep our oceans clean. The sand and surf is far more than a place to build sand castles and take a dive.
Beaches are home to various creatures from sea lions to sea turtles. Many animals depend on land to survive.
Marine life, dwelling only in the water, are also affected by waste on beaches. When the tides rise, they collect items on the beach and take the items out when the water lowers, including trash. This can have negative effects on marine life.
There are ways to prevent this from happening to our ocean creatures. By keeping this environment rubbish free we help protect and preserve marine life.
Help us with our annual beach clean and do your bit to help the oceans.
