Florida. While there, I had the unique opportunity to walk the
beach
at night and actually spot a sea turtle that had come up on
shore to lay her eggs! We stayed quite a good distance away and
quickly left the busy lady alone to her labors.
This incredible and fortunate encounter reminded me what an
important part we, as stewards of the entire planet, play in our
everyday lives. There are truly so many that depend on our
awareness and our conscious and caring efforts.
Watch a video.
The Ocean Conservancy group has a website that helps inform
people about the problems that ocean pollution causes as well as
offering ideas and opportunities to take action and be part
of the solution.
One of their suggestions is for boaters, but I believe it is
something we can all try as we head out to the beach this
summer - its called "Plus One Boating." Here's the idea:
"Practice "Plus-One Boating" by bringing back everything you
take out on your trip—plus one piece of litter from someone else's
wasteful wake. Make sure to bring all food containers, cigarette
butts, and other trash back to shore and use the marina’s garbage
or recycling facilities to dispose of it. More than an eyesore,
trash in the water impacts the health of humans, wildlife,
ecosystems, and economies."
