π We feel pretty lucky to have places like Botanical Beach right in our backyard.
The tide pools here are full of fascinating marine life, and one of the best parts of visiting is slowing down and taking a closer look at what's living beneath the surface.
A few simple ways to help keep these ecosystems healthy:
π£ Walk on bare rock whenever possible
π¦ Leave marine life where you find it
π€² Keep hands out of the tide pools and enjoy marine life from a distance
πΈ Take photos instead of souvenirs
π Enjoy the pools without disturbing what lives there
The low tide is a great chance to see parts of the shoreline that are usually hidden underwater. With a little care, we can all help keep this special place incredible.
π Thanks for helping look after the coast we all love.
