Theme: Caring for our Coast

Seaweek '93 coordinator: Bob Moffatt & Glenn Tonges

Personal actions

It ís easy to care for our coast, you can make a difference:

• Hold on to your cigarette butt, our streets and beaches are not ashtrays.
• Keep four wheel drives and trail bikes off protected and sensitive beach areas.
• Carry a plastic bag and clean up after your pets.
• Use the beach not the sand dunes when picnicking or playing.
• Leave shells on the beach for use by other animals as shelter and for other people to enjoy.
