Theme: Celebrate the sea - Restore the Balance

Seaweek '95 coordinator: Brian Mackness

Personal Actions

Marine environments are vital to our survival, together we can help restore the balance:

• Remember the link of sea and sink, dispose of wastes properly.
• Plant, don't pave, landscaping allows water to soak into the ground slowing water runoff to the sea.
• Plastic kills marine wildlife, don't allow any rubbish to enter the sea.
