Awareness eco-friendly practices that can help reduce waste and pollution in the ocean and at beaches:

Reduce single-use plastics: Avoid using single-use plastics like straws, plastic bags, and utensils, and replace them with reusable alternatives. 

You can also buy products with less plastic packaging.

Reuse packaging: Bring reusable bags to the store, coffee cups to the coffee shop, and silverware to the office. 

You can also use reusable silicone bags instead of plastic sandwich bags.

Recycle: Recycle materials you use at the beach.

Support eco-friendly businesses: When choosing a beach hotel, resort, or restaurant, look for ones that offer reusable containers, dishes, and silverware, and have easy access to recycling bins. 

You can also encourage businesses to make reducing plastic a company policy.

Participate in cleanups: You can help clean up local beaches.
