Go out of your island lagoon without a proper escort can be
risky.
Do not break
plants or coral or collecting a piece as "souvenirs."
Remember that even the lightest touch with hands or equipment
can damage sensitive coral polyps.
Resist the temptation to feed fish, seabirds and marine mammals;
it changes their natural behavior and diet.
