...Walk it Dont Drive it...
It's great that we have cops protecting our island and following the laws!!! Or are they? Recently the Marine Biology class of NMC attended a meeting about the walk it dont drive campaign. Presented was that cops were not follwing the law about not being able to drive on the sand of any beach on the island. While patrolling they drive through the sand that may cause erosion. Then we discussed what can help remind us about conserving all on the beach. DRIVE!!! D for Drip, this is where if people were to keep driving on the sand cars tend to drip oil which goes into the water where important marine organisms live. R for Ruts, this means that turtles lay eggs on the sand and their eggs could be destroyed by driving through it. I for illegal, it is illegal to drive on any beach of Saipan. VE for vegetation,when driving through the sand it kills vegetation that are grown on the sand.
