Show Respect for Seashore Creatures
- Tread carefully.
- Leave creatures where you found them.
- Leave attached seaweed in place.
- Handle creatures with care – close to the ground with wet hands.
- Carefully put rocks back to the same position you found them.
- Limit your collection of empty shells as other creatures use them as homes.
Avoid Disturbing Wildlife
- Keep your distance from seabirds including penguins.
- Keep your distance from seals and sea lions.
- Use the zoom on your camera or binoculars for close viewing.
- If sea lions approach you – back away slowly.
- Keep dogs under control.
Be Careful and Keep Safe
- Check tide times to avoid being cut off by rising tide.
- Do not explore the seashore alone.
- Watch for changing weather.
- Look out for waves – never turn your back to the ocean.
- Beware of slippery and uneven rock surfaces.
- Pick up any rubbish found on the shore and dispose of it appropriately.
