To protect our oceans we need to learn how to recycle plastic and reuse waste objects. As consumers we need to consider our choices and our environmental impact, water companies don’t produce water, they produce plastic bottles.
10% of all ocean waves is donated to Surfrider Foundation Australia. Surfrider Foundation Australia is a registered not for profit organisation dedicated to the protection of Australia’s waves and beaches through C.A.R.E. Conservation, Activism, Research and Education.

Cabbage Tree Bay is an aquatic reserve that aims to protect marine life. It covers an area of approximately 20 hectares, from the southern end of Manly Beach, including the rocky shores and beaches, to the northern end of Shelly Beach. Cabbage Tree Bay is an idyllic place for marine lovers with recreational activities such as swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, underwater photography, paddling and surfing off the Bower, fishing is prohibited. This is also the place that B&B swim to daily from Manly and I get a lot of my inspiration from here.

It’s popular spot with tourist and locals who enjoy clear water for paddling, swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, stand up paddling, and surfing off the Bower when the conditions are just right. The area is teeming with fish and marine life as fishing is prohibited. At half way point between Manly beach and Shelly beach there is a natural sea pool guarded by two landmark bronze Sea Nymphs.

Marine turtles have lived in the oceans for over 100 million years. They are an important part of many coastal regions. They migrate long distances between their feeding grounds and nesting sites.
Marine turtles are experiencing serious threats to their survival. The main threats are pollution and changes to important turtle habitats, especially coral reefs, seagrass beds, mangrove forests and nesting beaches. This is due to human contact.
