The new year is an opportunity to make new resolutions. Everyone wants a fresh start toward an even better year than the one before.
If you are creating goals for 2023, we hope you’ll add being environmentally friendly at the beach to your list! We have made it easy for you with these tips to practice when visiting the beach this year.
- Use the recycle bins located on the beach to properly dispose of recyclables.
- Throw away your trash.
- Use reusable containers for your food and drinks to limit plastic waste.
- Respect and do not disturb the wildlife.
- Use ashtrays. Cigarette butts are a leading source of marine and beach debris.
- Leave natural items like sand, shells and rocks where you find them.
- Stay off the sand dunes and use walkways instead.
To go the extra mile, get involved with our annual Coastal Cleanup in the fall. This project has been around for more than 30 years and is a key part in keeping our coast beautiful – the way it’s meant to be.
Thank you for doing your part by keeping our beaches clean for all our visitors and wildlife!
