Sunscreen is Killing the Coral
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2016 6:42 am
Here is an article about damaging sunscreen. Please don't use anything with oxybenzone. Always check the label. Some the the Reef Safe brand sunscreens also contain oxybenzone and are NOT reef safe.
I add to this article my personal advise to not use spray on sunscreens either. Most of the spray misses you and ends up airborne and in the lungs of folks down wind. Also most boat captains won't allow spray on because they make the boat deck slick and ruin the upholstery.
