You and your community can commemorate Oceans Day in many ways:

1. Learn all you can. Read, surf the web and experience the ocean directly.
2. Conserve the water. Be careful when washing your car or watering your lawn.
3. Reduce household pollutants. Cut down and properly dispose of herbicides, pesticides and cleaning products.
4. Reduce waste. Dispose of trash properly. Where possible, recycle, reuse and compost.
5. Reduce automobile pollution. Use fuel efficient vehicles or carpool. Recycle motor oil and repair oil and air conditioning leaks.
6. Protect ocean wildlife. Don’t dispose of fishing lines, nets or plastic items in or near the water.
7. Be considerate of sea life habitats. Don’t bother sea birds, mammals and turtles or their nesting grounds. Support marine protected areas.
8. Get involved. Take part in a beach cleanup or other ocean-oriented activities.
