Seashore Code

Respect marine wildlife

• take only photos - don't take any living things away with you.
• carefully replace seaweed and rocks exactly as you found them
• limpets, anemones and seaweeds will die if pulled of the rocks - observe wildlife where it lives.
• don't paddle or throw things in rockpools - it's a creatures home.
• avoid trampling on plants and animals - keep to bare rock, it is less slippery.
• report anything unusual that you find but do not touch if you are not sure it is safe.
• leave sea and shore birds alone to feed.

Take your litter home

• Always make sure you take your litter home

Keep safe

• check tide times before venturing around the coast beneath the cliffs
• keep back from cliff edges and bases - cliff falls are frequent and unexpected
• do not climb, hammer or throw rocks at the cliffs.

Enjoy Don't Destroy!
