Mission
“To inspire and empower people to act in conserving and sustainably developing coastal resources, particularly coral reefs and related ecosystems.”
Vision
Reef-World believes that nobody wants to harm the very environment we rely on to survive, and that by investing in educating people we can achieve conservation impact on the ground and in the reefs.
Philosophy
Reef-World uses the most powerful tool available to us all, education. Our philosophy is to provide well-researched and targeted training and assistance where those we help can then take their knowledge into their community or industry and pass it on.
Scuba diving attracts thousands of people from all over the world and the industry itself employs a vast amount of people from local communities. By targeting the diving industry to spread our messages, Reef-World believes we will effectively help to protect our marine life.
Diving tourism has grown around the most unique, diverse and dynamic coral reefs of SE Asia. Diving brings people unnaturally into fragile environments and there are consequences. Few coral reefs in the region remain unaffected by human activities. Efforts to effectively mitigate these risks will subsequently act to conserve coral reefs of important global biodiversity.
