our initiatives
Rid the ocean of marine debris
We work to remove and mitigate the estimated 8M tons of plastic emitted into the ocean every year through education, advocacy and actions such as PADI's Dive Against Debris dives and beach cleanups.
Increase and support our marine protected areas
We support the diving communities efforts to protect 30% of our ocean by 2030 including PADI's Adopt a Site program.
Protect our vulnerable species
We work to monitor changes to biodiversity in our local waters through education and actions such as Reef Environment Education Foundation (REEF) and reporting on specific species of interest like the sunflower sea star.
Restoration of eelgrass and kelp beds
We support the diving community's effort to accelerate the restoration of coral reefs and are working to align with partner organizations focused on restoration of eelgrass and kelp beds here in the Puget Sound which serve as the nursery for many of our finny friends.
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
We work to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of the dive industry through education, advocacy, providing exciting local diving opportunities, and engaging in local "Blue Carbon" initiatives.
