Coral Friendly Snorkeling Guidelines
Coral reefs are among the world's most spectacular habitats
and snorkeling is an excellent way to explore them. As coral
reefs face an increasingly uncertain future, snorkelers and
other coral reef visitors can play an important role in helping
to protect these fragile habitats. Follow these simple
guidelines to help protect the coral reefs you visit.
BEFORE SETTING OUT TO EXPLORE THE REEFS
- For your vacation, choose an environment-friendly resort
or hotel; one that recycles and treats sewage and solid
waste in responsible ways.
- Look for and support coral parks and other marine
conservation areas.
- Get the best possible instruction you can.
- Practice snorkeling skills away from the reef.
- Make sure your equipment fits properly before you
snorkel near corals-it can be very difficult to adjust in
the water.
- Learn all you can about coral reefs-they are fascinating
and fragile environments.
IN THE WATER Never touch corals; even slight contact can harm
them. Some corals can sting or cut you.
- Select points of entry and exit to avoid walking on
corals.
- Maintain a comfortable distance from the reef, so that
you're certain you can avoid contact.
- Know where your fins are at all times and don't kick up
sand.
- Stay horizontal in the water while you're near or above
the reef.
- Learn to swim without using yours arms.
- Move slowly and deliberately in the water-relax and take
your time.
- Remember, look but don't touch. Snorkeling pros know the
real way to enjoy the beauty of the reef is to slow down,
relax and watch as reef creatures go about their daily lives
undisturbed.
AS A RESPONSIBLE SNORKELER
- Take nothing living or dead out of the water except
recent garbage.
- Never chase or try to ride marine life.
- Never touch, handle or feed marine life except under
expert guidance and following locally-established
guidelines.
- Avoid using gloves in coral environments.
