Most divers take great care and respect the underwater world, moving carefully in this sensitive environmental system. However many of us, especially those who do not dive, do not think about the outcome for the creatures in this environment when taking something out of the sea or destroying coral for example.

So be careful when fishing, swimming, diving and snorkelling in the sea. Remember that you are a visitor in this beautiful habitat. Try not to disrupt the flora and fauna. And of course take your rubbish with you, leaving nothing in your wake.

Our oceans, and the life within in them, need our protection and care. See our article: Why we need a National Network of Marine Parks and Sanctuaries
