· Recycle everything you can
· Collect and bag any litter/bottles found on the beaches or island.
· Report any damage to the house – Accidents happen!
· Avoid the high ground above Venus Pool and the northern tip of the island around dusk and during dark hours, as these are important bird roosting sites.

· Use your common sense.
Please DO NOT do the following
· Have any fires on the island.
· Use coal or any derivatives in the lounge fire – Only wood to be used.
· Put anything other than toilet paper down the toilets, as this is not good for the sewage system.

· Use bleach or strong detergents, as these are also not good for the sewage system.
· Wear outdoor footwear on any carpeted surfaces within the house.
· Try and cross the causeway when it is covered even if only by a little water as the tide rises fast and runs quickly.
