Whenever you dive, you impact the undersea environment, and when you take photos or video footage, you bring away a piece of the spirit of the sea. Make your picture as important to the sea as it is to you. You can do this by sharing your experiences with others and by explaining to people how the kelp bed ecosystem functions. If your photos or video are good enough you may want to make presentations to local schools or community service organizations. Step 10 - Be an ambassador of the environment.
Divers are a privileged minority who know the glory of the undersea world.
In addition to communicating the beauty and wonder of the kelp bed, use your position and knowledge to promote responsible management of these valuable ecosystems. Support local marine protected areas and our National Marine Sanctuaries.
