Video

California lobster season started last week!

There’s a lot of videos of people catching limits (like this one). Seems like the population is healthy this year!

Environment

Skincare Chemicals and Coral Reefs

We’ve heard that we should be using mineral based sunscreen for years. But last year, the National Academy of Sciences released a study which reviewed the use of sunscreen ingredients and their environmental impacts.

The results?

Exactly what you would think. It backs up the notion that mineral based sunscreen is the right choice.

I knew this. You knew this. But theres just so much contradicting information out there nowadays that sometimes you don’t know if you’re making the right choice. Well, consider this a reminder - mineral based sunscreen will protect our oceans.

And since we’re out in the water more than most, we should know and follow these guidelines.
