• Bring a Reusable Water Bottle
​
• Ditch the Plastic Bags
​
• Choose Reef-friendly Sunscreen and Nontoxic Insect Repellent
Did you know that coral is an animal, not a plant? Coral around the world are being harmed by some of the chemicals in traditional sunscreen, which washes off into the water in huge amounts.
Choose sun protection that is certified reef-friendly such as Sun Bum brand. (Please no spray sunscreen).
Similarly, chemically-laden repellents may work for mosquitoes but can also harm other wildlife.
The residue from them washes into waterways, adding more chemicals that marine life have a hard time dealing with.
Choose insect repellent such as Duk Gear brand or No-See-Um Natural insect repellent.
