The colors captured by light and water can be really stunning, as shown

trash, much of it still finds its way into the water. We now have a bad

Trash Vortex

People who want to be near the oceans can be a significant drain on the

tourists all can help humans and the oceans coexist happily.

Keeping the sand as clean as the water is a big part of coastal
preservation. Beach clean-up days have a great impact, thanks to active
citizens. Keeping an eye on development is also part of ensuring we have
beaches in the future.
