Take steps in protecting our coasts and oceans:

• Make sure all your rubbish goes into bins for correct disposal or recycling, at home, at the beach and while boating.
• Know all the beach, boating and fishing regulations.
• Keep street drains clean, all the water washes to the beach taking with it rubbish, chemicals, plant clippings, dirt and oil.
