As of the 12th November 2016, Green Fins are now official partners with the Miss SCUBA International (MSI) pageant, the only pageant programme that globally focusses on the importance of the oceans and their current struggle.
From the 17th September to the 4th October, staff from The Reef-World Foundation were in the Maldives to support the Green Fins national team with the expansion of the initiative and to provide training for additional members of the team.
Reef-World’s Chloe travelled to Santa Margherita, Italy, to give a Key Note speech on Sustainable scuba diving and labels at the Green Bubbles Mid Term Open Workshop.
During the first week of October, Reef-World staff Jula visited Tokyo for a quick but very insightful three days of consultations with several influential stakeholders of the local diving industry.
Building on an incredible demand from the diving and tourism industry in the already active areas of the Maldives, Reef-World together with the Environmental Protection Agency and Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Office conducted the training of one new assessor and three new coordinators.
Between the 9th and 11th September 2016, two (2) staff from The Reef-World Foundation hosted a Green Fins booth at the Diving Resort Travel Expo (DRT) in Manila, Philippines.
