As the weather gets warmer and we start rushing back to the beaches, let’s remember to use reef-safe, and if possible, ocean-safe sunscreens! While some harsh ingredients will target reefs, others can still affect our local species by affecting their growth, reproduction, and immune systems. Let's keep our skin and our oceans healthy and protected!
