<p>You don&#8217;t have to join a group to make a difference. Here are our top tips on how to protect Queensland’s beaches this holiday as part of your day out.</p>
<h3>TOP TIPS&#8230;</h3>
<h4><strong>Enjoy exploring the rockpools</strong>!</h4>
<p>Learning all about the marine environment will inspire you to want to protect it and all that lives there.</p>
<h4><strong>Take a bag with you<img decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3310" src="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Rockpools-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Rockpools-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Rockpools-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Rockpools-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Rockpools-624x468.jpg 624w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Rockpools.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></strong></h4>
<p>Collect rubbish and plastic marine debris as you walk. Every piece of plastic removed from the marine environment can save an animal’s life and reduce microplastics in the ocean.</p>
<p><strong>Have a competition to see who’s collected the most rubbish</strong></p>
<p>It’s disappointing that the beaches are littered but there’s no harm in making cleaning them fun!</p>
<h4><strong>Keep to walking tracks</strong></h4>
<p>This protects the vegetation that provides habitat for birds and animals. It also prevents erosion.</p>
<h4><strong>Keep your dog on a lead</strong></h4>
<p>Especially on dunes with vulnerable vegetation.</p>
<h4><strong>Look out for birds and animals<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3312" src="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Doggie-Beach-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Doggie-Beach-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Doggie-Beach-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Doggie-Beach-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Doggie-Beach-624x468.jpg 624w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Doggie-Beach.jpg 1280w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></strong></h4>
<p>Try not to disturb them and make sure your dog leaves them in peace too!</p>
<p><strong>Avoid and reduce plastics</strong></p>
<p>Plastic has a habit of blowing around. If you don’t use it or take it to the beach, it can’t go astray and harm marine animals.</p>
<p><strong>Have fun and feel good!</strong></p>
<p>Enjoying the beach will make you feel good&#8230;and caring for it along the way will make you feel even better.</p>
