 Beaches
are a great place to have fun with your family and friends.
Next time you go to the beach, you'll know more about what
the beach is and how to protect it.
A beach is made of very small loose rock (sand) that gathers
at the shore of a body of water. Beaches are created by
waves or currents. The sand comes from erosion of rocks both
far away from and near the water. Coral reefs are a major
source of sand.
A beach's shape depends on how the waves move. Some waves
move material up the beach, while others move it down the
beach. On sandy beaches, the waves move sand away from the
beach, making gentle slopes.
When the waves are not strong enough to move the sand away,
the beach is steeper.
Crabs, insects, and birds feed on material left by the
waves. Some small animals dig into the sand to get their
food. Birds use beaches to nest, and sea turtles lay their
eggs on ocean beaches. Sea grasses and other beach plants
grow on areas of the beach and dunes where there is not much
activity.
Things you can do to help protect your beach: |
- Dispose of trash properly - use
trash cans at the beach or take your trash home with you
- Reduce, reuse and recycle as many as
possible of the things you use -- anywhere, anytime
- Cut the rings off plastic six-pack
holders so that animals (like fish, turtles or seals)
can't get tangled in them — leave no solid plastic loops
- Join local beach, river or stream
clean-ups
- Teach others how to practice good
beach safety
