Green Fins

Umweltschädigungen durch die Tauchbranche reduzieren und ihre Nachhaltigkeit fördern.

Was ist Green Fins?

Green Fins ist eine Initiative der Reef-World Foundation. Sie erstellt Richtlinien zur Nachhaltigkeit in der Tauch- und Schnorchelbranche, mit denen Korallenriffe geschützt und erhalten werden.

Reef-World fördert in Partnerschaft mit dem Umweltschutzprogramm der UN nachhaltiges, umweltfreundliches Verhalten. Dies geschieht, indem für regionale und branchenweite Umweltprobleme kostengünstige, praktische Lösungen angeboten werden. So gibt es Bildungsprogramme und Hilfen beim Ausbau von Kapazitäten, damit bewährte Umweltschutzmaßnahmen im Umgang mit der Ressource Meer umgesetzt werden können.

Seit 2018 arbeitet PADI® mit The Reef World Foundation zusammen, um mit dem Potenzial unserer Gemeinschaft ein Beispiel dafür zu setzen, wie eine internationale Branche sich erfolgreich für Mensch, Planet und wirtschaftlichen Erfolg einsetzen kann.

Unsere gemeinsame Vision: Standardmäßig ausgeübte, nachhaltige Praktiken beim Tauchen und Schnorcheln, um die Gesundheit unserer Korallenriffe weltweit zu verbessern.

Survey participants offered a broad range of perspectives spanning freedivers and one-time DSD divers through to dive professionals and business owners with over 10 years experience in our industry. Here's what we learnt:

How Does 100% AWARE Work?

Partners agree to donate on behalf of each student, on a per certification basis, as an individual instructor or dive center. Donations are made on a monthly basis, recommended amounts are based on annual certification numbers. 

When you commit, you’ll be given the option to donate online, automatically recurring each month according to your process tier selected.

When processing through PIC Online, you will be able to select which edition of the AWARE card image you would like, otherwise if you select the standard PADI card the system will default to the latest AWARE card design.

Donations made through the partnership are tax-deductible in support of the PADI AWARE Foundation, ensuring every new certification supports conservation. As an 100% AWARE partner, you are consistently advancing the Blueprint for Ocean Action, supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.

What percentage of c-cards are recycled content?

All physical PADI certification cards are currently made from 70% post-consumer recycled plastic. We are working together to get this figure as close to 100% as possible. Physical cards are still essential in remote areas without internet access but we provide and promote e-cards whenever possible. You can see the full PADI AWARE supply chain policy here.

 
Can I still donate to PADI AWARE if I am not a PADI Dive Center, Resort or Professional?

Yes! Thank you. Please donate to make a single or monthly recurring donation here. We appreciate your support!
