Every visit to a foreign country offers a chance to enhance
conservation, education and communication.
It has become even more important than ever to ensure your chosen
dive resort supports education, communication and conservation
within the local community and serve to promote the area – instead
of tarnishing the environment and the people alongside with it.

REMOVING INVASIVE SPECIES
The Crown of Thorns Seastar – a
predator of coral - has been causing a
bit of a stir in Raja Ampat. It’s believed
the seastars were introduced to the
reef through the ballast water of
passing cargo ships, and with few
predators in Indonesian waters they
have thrived.

and ocean clean-up pictures.

WHO TO FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA
|
|
German artist and conservationist,
Liina Klauss and the creator behind the
#5000LostSoles installation in Bali.
“I want to show people a different
perspective on what we consider ‘rubbish’.
Everything we throw away comes back to
us, via the air we breathe, the water we
drink, and the soil we grow crops and raise
animals on. Flip-flops are just one example;
there is potential within all these materials
we waste and consider worthless,”
