10 Things we can do to save our Oceans

• Learn all you can. Read, surf the web and experience the ocean directly.
• Be a smart shopper. Ask grocery stores and restaurants about the source of their seafood.
• Conserve the water. Be careful when washing your car or watering your lawn.
• Reduce household pollutants. Cut down and properly dispose of herbicides, pesticides and cleaning products.
• Reduce waste. Dispose of trash properly. Where possible, recycle, reuse and compost.
• Reduce automobile pollution. Use fuel efficient vehicles or carpool. Recycle motor oil and repair oil and air conditioning leaks.
• Protect ocean wildlife. Don't dispose of fishing lines, nets or plastic items in or near the water.
• Be considerate of sea life habitats. Don't bother sea birds, mammals and turtles or their nesting grounds. Support marine protected areas.
• Get involved. Take part in a beach cleanup or other ocean-oriented activities.
• Care! Pass on your knowledge!
