A growing number of park visitors are concerned about the health of our oceans. Chemicals in some sunscreen can harm ocean life, including corals, fish, sea urchins, dolphins, and mussels. One thing you can do is pledge to wear sunscreens with only the active ingredients zinc oxide or titanium dioxide and wear UPF clothing while at the beach or in the ocean. Choosing sun protection that is less harmful to marine life is one thing you can do to help protect our ocean parks for this and future generations.
