Things You Can Do At Home to Actively Help the Ocean and Marine Mammals

Reduce the toxins you use on your lawn and garden because these end up in our waterways.
Bring your own reusable canvas or cotton shopping bag to carry your purchases. You can also reuse paper or plastic bags to help reduce trash.
Dispose of fishing lines and lures properly to help keep them out of the ocean as animals can mistake them for food or become entangled in them.
Avoid releasing helium balloons into the sky as they often end up in bodies of water.
If purchasing beverages attached with "six pack" plastic rings, cut the rings apart before throwing them away. Birds, fish and small land animals can get caught in the rings.
