Green Fins

De wereldwijde ecologische voetafdruk van de duikindustrie verkleinen, om de duurzaamheid van de duikindustrie te waarborgen.

Wat is Green Fins?

Green Fins is een initiatief van de Reef-World Foundation dat koraalriffen beschermt en in stand houdt door middel van milieurichtlijnen voor een duurzame duik- en snorkelindustrie.

In samenwerking met het VN-milieuprogramma stimuleert Reef-World duurzaamheid door goedkope en praktische oplossingen te bieden voor lokale en industrie-brede probleem met zeetoerisme. Het biedt onderwijs en andere diensten om mensen te ondersteunen bij het implementeren van milieubeschermingsinitiatieven in kuststreken.

Sinds 2018 werkt PADI® samen met The Reef World Foundation om het potentieel van onze gemeenschap aan te wenden als voorbeeld van hoe een wereldwijde industrie met succes People, Planet en Profit kan ondersteunen.

Onze gedeelde visie is om van duurzaam duiken en snorkelen de sociale norm te maken en daarmee de gezondheid van koraalriffen wereldwijd te verbeteren.

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.
