Here are 4 more ways to become a better Ocean Citizen :
PARTICIPATE in environmentallydriven , community-led programmes such as beach cleanups
CONSERVE WATER at home . Most wastewater is not filtered or distilled and instead finds its way into the sea , releasing chemicals and other toxic pollutants into the oceans
RECYCLE what you can ’ t refuse , reduce or reuse . Pay attention to the entire life cycle of items you bring into your life , from source to manufacturing to distribution to disposal
EDUCATE YOURSELF on the do ’ s and don ’ ts of the ocean and how we , on an individual level , can encourage others to protect our oceans
