What you can do to help

• Reduce your carbon footprint and walk when possible
• Do not litter. If you come across rubbish, please dispose of it
• Minimise the use of non-reusable waste. Purchase reusable bags, coffee cups, straws, containers etc.
• Be conscious of your environment; walk on designated walking tracks, don’t disturb wildlife, or touch corals and marine life (the human touch destroys their
protective coating and can lead to death).
• Use energy responsibility and consider solar power
