August 30th is National Beach Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the beauty of beaches and the importance of keeping them clean. Beaches are a vital part of our ecosystem, providing habitat for a variety of marine life and offering us a place to relax, swim, and play.

In recent years, there has been growing concern about the pollution of beaches. Litter, plastic, and other debris can harm marine life and make beaches unsightly. On National Beach Day, we can all do our part to help keep beaches clean by following these tips:

• Leave no trace. Pack out everything you pack in, including trash, food scraps, and sunscreen.
• Pick up litter. If you see trash on the beach, pick it up and dispose of it properly.
• Dispose of waste properly. Flush toilets and dump graywater in designated areas.
• Recycle and compost. Recycle plastic bottles, cans, and other recyclable materials. Compost food scraps and yard waste.

By following these tips, we can help keep beaches clean and beautiful for generations to come.

In addition to celebrating the beauty of beaches, National Beach Day is also a time to learn about the importance of ocean conservation. Here are some ways you can get involved in ocean conservation:
