“I can’t thank you enough for helping me so much during my Green Fins Dive Guide e-Course and for the scholarship and certificate. Be sure the knowledge acquired on the course will be actively used in Brazil by me and the Salve Maracaipe environmental movement. The Green Fins guidelines will be great news for the local environment and local business … You guys can count on me in Brazil, let’s make environmentally friendly diving a norm!” - Márcio Carvalho, Green Fins Dive Guide e-Course scholar (Brazil) “The Green Fins approach aligns with our goals of using fun, creative, and unique marketing approaches that reach across language barriers to engage both visitors and residents in reef-safe tourism. Guam’s reefs are under continuous threat from climate change and other local stressors. We view Green Fins as a valuable communication tool and business opportunity to showcase and lift up operators that are actively taking steps to help us protect coral reefs for the future, and we hope it will encourage others to do the same. We are grateful for The Reef-World Foundation’s partnership over the last few years as we work together to bring Green Fins to Guam!” - Mallory Morgan, Sustainable Marine Tourism Coordinator, Guam Visitors Bureau “The [Train the Trainer progr intensive but now we’re well eq on the Green Fins trainer role w coaching during the training. The us to expand the Green Fins pro as the demand for Green Fins increasing.” - Sue Chelliah, Reef Check M “My Green Fins experience has provided new opportunities to engage with the community to work together in marine environment conservation. As local Green Fins network assessors, we have facilitated the continuation of dialogue from formal office settings and engaged people who are working in the field. The Green Fins guidelines are one of the best practice guidelines in which the diving/snorkelling industry throughout the Maldives can easily adapt and adhere to improve the health and sustain the use of the coral reefs and the environment. It also helps us to build a network of partners across the country who promote and practice the guidelines and sustainably enforce a standard across the industry.” - Ahmed Basheer, Citizen Science Officer, IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Maldives 44
