Importantly, TangaReef donates a significant portion of every booking made to renowned organizations that help local communities to establish and enforce marine protected areas. Creating sufficiently large such areas is widely regarded as the most important and urgent step to preserve the incredible diversity of marine life.
As many of these marine protected areas are, or will become, attractive destinations for passionate divers, ecological tourism to these destinations will increase income for local businesses and communities. Some of which can and should be used for better and larger marine parks which will lead to more fish, more divers and more income.
Today TangaReef celebrates World Oceans Day and kickstarts this positive spiral together with divers around the world.
