[Coral-List] Diver distance from Reef

[Julian @ Reef Check]

Hi Ulf

 

A couple of years ago we were approached by SSI in South East Asia. They
were in the process of establishing their dive operator environmental
programme (I think it was called "ecological"). If I remember right, they
were considering making it a requirement for partners who sign up as
"ecological" centres to participate in reef monitoring programmes, hence,
they approached us. Nothing came of it. I just checked their website;
nothing mentioned. It would be interesting to find out why they didn't go
that route!

"The bottom line of the Millenium Assessment findings is that human actions
are depleting Earth's natural capital, putting such strain on the
environment that the ability of the planet's ecosystems to sustain future
generations can no longer be taken for granted."

That's the bottom line Julian. If they were public corporations they would
have to publish a yearly analysis of how the reefs are doing, or their stock
value would fall.
