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.

With PADI's support, Reef-World recently conducted a survey about sustainability in a recovering travel world.

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:

What does it mean for a dive operator to be Green Fins certified?

Green Fins members are dive or snorkel operators who agree to follow the Green Fins Code of Conduct, are based in an active Green Fins location and have signed the membership form. Members receive annual assessments, training and feedback to help them improve their environmental sustainability.

 
Which countries offer Certified Green Fins membership and how do I become a member?

An active Green Fins country is a destination whose Government has adopted the programme, and has trained Green Fins assessors who are qualified to recruit, train and conduct assessments of dive and snorkel operators in that country. These are:

Dive and snorkel centers operating in active Certified Green Fins locations can become members by signing (and sending in) the membership form and pledging to follow the Green Fins Code of Conduct. One of the Green Fins team will then be in touch to organize your first assessment.
