TW - 7th, June, 2013 (Sun, Sunny 35C) PingTung: Little Okinawa


小琉球地標---花瓶岩淨灘!

花瓶岩附近水域是小琉球最靠近碼頭、遊客浮潛、戲水、看台灣本島、看海、看日出等最富盛名的好場所,故遊客很多!

淨灘時,檢拾到很多大大小小的酒瓶玻璃碎片,有黑的、綠的、白的等散佈在花瓶岩附近的水中、沙灘上,直接危害到穿著輕便涼拖或光腳的居民與遊客的安全。沙灘上還有許多用保麗龍、紙做的飲料瓶和塑膠袋等! 導遊說花瓶岩附近海岸是綠蠵龜覓食的主要場所之一。綠蠵龜被發現死時肚中有很多塑膠袋,因牠們會把水中的塑膠袋當成水母來吃。

喜愛小琉球的人呀:「請帶走您們帶來的飲料和垃圾,並勿再丟棄玻璃瓶了吧!」感恩!


  Beach cleaning at Vase Rock , the landmark of Little Okinawa!

Why I have the idea of beach cleaning at Vase Rock?

After we arrived yesterday, our friend bought us to this site which is the landmark of the Little Okinawa. The kids are fairly happy to play in the water near the beach, but we found the beach were scatter with broken alcoholic glasses on the beach and in the water. Most of the people playing on the beach just wearing slipper or simply bare their feet which threaten by the scatter glasses.  What a terrible experience! So I decided to spend some time on the beach cleaning.

Despite the black, green, white broken glasses, I also collected many PE or paper drink cups and bags that hold the cups. The tourist guard told us that the turtles were found dead with lot of plastic bags in their stomach because the turtle swallow the bags as they tought that they were the jelly fishes they like to eat.

People who like the island, pls bring along your drink containers and wastes back to the shore and don't throw any glasses to the beach. Let's keep the beautiful island clean and safe! Appreciated!
