Sustainable under water
For a respectful come together under water―this is the message we want to share! Worldwide a lot of damage to coral reefs is caused by negligent and not sufficiently educated snorkelers and divers. People step or even stand on corals, break and damage corals, even a sad kind of 'coral graffiti' is found in extreme cases! Leaving garbage and anchoring within a coral reef is likewise the cause for coral reef's destruction and degradation.

Despite SECORE's direct efforts in coral reef conservation and restoration, this campaign offers a great chance to raise public awareness among the many tourists and local dive guides likewise. We share knowledge on coral reef ecology and how to implement a sustainable touristic use among visiting snorkelers and divers, as well as local ones.
Here, you can learn more about our campaign 'sustainable under water' (in English and Deutsch), where you can download a flyer and a poster.
Feel free to share flyer and poster with your colleagues, friends and family. Feel free to use flyer and poster in your dive shop. Please contact us if you have any questions.
When conducted in a low-impact manner recreational snorkeling and diving offers chances for a sustainable tourism, suitable to maintain coral reefs nearly undisturbed by their visitors.
