Reef-World’s vision is to make sustainable diving and snorkelling the social norm and the charity is driving environmentally friendly practices across the global marine tourism industry. The charity is achieving this through the implementation of its flagship initiative – Green Fins – which is implemented in partnership with the UN Environment Programme.
Through Green Fins, Reef-World drives sustainable behaviours for environmental protection by providing low-cost and practical solutions to local and industry-wide environmental challenges associated with the marine tourism industry. It offers education and capacity-building assistanceto empower environmental champions (within the diving industry, local communities, authorities and governments) to implement proven coastal resource management approaches.
