Love island hopping and snorkelling, and want to do it without harming marine life? Whether it's around Thailand's famous James Bond islands and Phi Phi islands; it surely is hard to resist those clear blue waters and fishes!
The Dorsal Effect featured these 6 simple tips to becoming a responsible traveller:
- Use reef-safe sunscreen such as Badger, Stream2sea, All Good, Mama Kuleana, Manda
- Do not step on the coral reefs
- Do not touch or disturb any marine animals
- Do not feed the fishes
- Do not pick up shells
- Do not litter i.e. plastic cutlery, bags, cigarette butts
Keep in mind these are the places you paid specifically to visit! Paying a little more for a reef friendly sunscreen and giving a little more attention to your surroundings and your behaviour goes a long way in preserving those clear blue waters, diverse marine life and coral reefs!
Remember, no matter how insignificant you think you are, anyone and everyone can make a difference. ☺
