Green Fins
Ridurre l’impronta ambientale globale del settore subacqueo, assicurandone la sostenibilità.
Cos’è Green Fins?
Green Fins è un’iniziativa di Reef-World Foundation che protegge e tutela le barriere coralline attraverso linee guida ambientali che promuovono un settore della subacquea e dello snorkeling sostenibile.
In partnership con il programma delle Nazioni Unite per l’ambiente, Reef-World promuove comportamenti sostenibili per la salvaguardia ambientale offrendo soluzioni economiche e pratiche per le sfide ambientali locali e settoriali associate con il turismo marino. Offre assistenza educativa e di sviluppo di capacità per mettere in grado i sostenitori ambientali di implementare soluzioni verificate di gestione delle risorse costiere.
Dal 2018, PADI® ha lavorato in partnership con The Reef World Foundation per realizzare il potenziale della nostra comunità come esempio del modo in cui un settore globale può sostenere con successo le persone, il pianeta ed il profitto.
La nostra visione condivisa è quella di rendere la subacquea e lo snorkeling sostenibile una consuetudine sociale, migliorando – in questo modo – la salute delle barriere coralline nell’oceano in tutto il mondo.

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:
