10 Tips
From scooping your dog’s poop to choosing ocean-safe products, the power to protect our oceans is in your hands.
1.
See Oceans, Save Oceans.
See Oceans. Save Oceans. See Oceans during opening week and Disneynature will make a donation in your honor to save our coral reefs.
2.
Leave only footprints in the sand.
Bring home what you bring to the beach and what others leave behind.
3.
Reuse not refuse.
Each year, 26 million pounds of plastic travel hundreds of miles from inland areas to our oceans, contributing to massive floating garbage patches, and killing one million sea birds and 100,000 marine mammals.
4.
Choose sustainable, healthy seafood.
Due to unsustainable fishing practices and high consumer demand worldwide, 70% of the world's fisheries are threatened or endangered.
5.
Garden your yard and clean your home with ocean-friendly products.
32 million pounds of cleaning and garden products, often filled with toxins, are poured down drains daily and polluting local waterways and oceans.
6.
Check beach conditions.
20,000 ocean, lake and bay beaches had warnings or closings last year because of pollution.
7.
Trash your butts.
Cigarettes and filters are the #1 item removed from coastal and inland waterways during cleanups, comprising 25% of all trash collected.
8.
Be a responsible fisherman and boater.
Don’t dump waste overboard, choose ocean-friendly boat products, and keep your boat well-cleaned and leak-free.
9.
Scoop your dog's poop.
15 tons of harmful pet waste pollutes oceans daily, traveling from storm drains, inland waterways and beaches.
10.
Be an oceans hero.
Learn and be inspired by individuals working to protect our ocean, lake, river, and bay waterways for us and future generations.
