Total stupidity. Every doctor in the world strongly advises wearing a good high factor sunscreen when sun bathing especially so in tropical areas where the UV radiation is much stronger. Not wearing sunscreen is by far the biggest cause of skin cancer and that is a hard FACT that we should all be aware of!!! What are they thinking here, i find this incredibly crass??? Not only that but they simply state national parks, well once again that seems very odd and ill thought out as many such parks are nowhere near the ocean as many have pointed out. So all in all a pointless, crazy and dangerous prohibition.
Sorry but I cannt agree with this and I am sure very few folk can. I am keen on conservation and many years ago I was a PADI open water leisure diver and learned all about not touching coral when diving and how to protect the fragile and important corals. Probably the biggest killer of coral is the huge industrial toxins that get dumped into the oceans from our rivers and other outlets where industiral complexes so often pay little attention to ensuring they do not pollute the enmvironment as their only concern is greedy OTT profits. A big problem with current deeply flawed uncontrolled Capitalism !!
I must add that I have no selfish hidden agendas here as I personally never sunbathe myself these days and have not done so for over 20 years. Gettign a sun tan does not interest me one little bit, but that does not mean I think everybody else should follow my example at all as many folk enjoy sunbathing and getting a suntan. Tolerance and a live and let live approach to life is a good general attitude we should all try to adopt in this world and such a pity so many governments do not follow such sound principles whilst concentrating on controlling big greedy corporate Capitalism far more to protect our World and its people.
