Five ocean-saving actions and updates for Torchbearers and ocean-advocates this May.
DISCOVER | PADI AWARE’s Marine Protected Areas Program
Even though the ocean covers approximately 70 percent of our planet, less than eight percent is protected. A well-connected system of highly protected areas will provide sanctuary for disappearing marine species, provide livelihoods for millions of inhabitants of coastal communities and increase the ocean’s resilience against climate change.
We need your help to make sustainable diving and snorkelling practices the industry standard! Results from this quick (less than 5 min) survey will encourage even more governments, agencies & enterprises to join us on our mission to make diving tourism more sustainable and resilient.
Some of the Earth’s greatest opportunities for conservation lie at the intersection of industry and the environment – like rigs as reefs. Given the human demand for ocean resources, PADI AmbassaDivers™ and Blue Latitudes Foundation co-founders Amber Sparks and Emily Hazelwood aim to broaden the dialogue on traditional ocean conservation practices to find ways to use our oceans without using them up!
The next time you choose to travel, why not book an epic bucket list adventure that supports local conservation at the same time? Check out these 5 beautiful spots where tourism spending gives hope to our blue planet.
