OCEANS ARE PART OF THE ENTERTAINMENT AND THE SOLUTIONS

Most people know that oceans cover 70% of the Earth and they provide over 50% of the planet's oxygen. Many speak about plastic pollution and raising sea levels.

Few people know that over 30% of travel, leisure and recreation is linked to the ocean.

So, yes, oceans are part of the entertainment and the solution.

We have worked with over 30 data partners and sources to research the impact of travel to oceans.

The outcomes:
the POSITIVE OCEANS INDEX.

Head to the to discover how places cope with marine tourism pressure and how well they manage to protect their ocean assets.

THE CONCEPT OF TRAVEL IS CHANGING...

Even now during lockdown and constantly changing restrictions we see a transformation in the way people perceive travel, leisure and recreation.

It has become obvious that travel or tourism is an integral part of leisure, recreation, education, livelihoods and the environment, yes, the environment.

Some may advocate “Stay at Home” and “Dream Now Travel Later”. But the reality is people have not stopped travelling They are just travelling differently.

Experiential, immersive, sustainable and regenerative travel have take center stage in the discussion.

So what type of traveller are you?
By the way, did you know it is World Tourism Day today?

DO YOU KNOW WHY AUSTRALIA RANKS 1ST?

Australia is ranking 1st out of 30 countries on our Index with an overall score of 7.8.

Thanks to its:
- Massive Marine Protected Areas (MPA) at 36% of its total marine estate;
- Highest number of sustainable marine parks, i.e. 55;
- Sustainable management of its coastal development and infrastructure.

So what does this mean for you as an ocean visitor?
Basically, the higher to country's score the lower your impact on their marine eco-systems and the more positive your travel, recreational and leisure activities are.

RAY OF SUNSHINE Manta Rays are the 6st most 💚 marine animal on IG.

Beautiful illustration by for

Rays are spread out across the oceans of the world, with small estimated regional populations that range from 100 to 1,500 of the sea creatures.

Studies have shown that rays possess incredible intelligence, which makes the fact that they are almost an endangered species even sadder.

The primary threat to manta rays is fishing, both indirectly and through targeted fishing where the species is caught for its gill rakers, which are used in some traditional Chinese medicine. Climate change and the destruction of their natural habitat has also affected the manta ray population, and one of the best ways that we can help protect and preserve the species is to work to reduce the impact of climate change.

You can help by using renewable energy, cutting down on waste and reducing your carbon footprint by living more sustainably.

DISCOVER Our scores. They will help you choose more mindful marine destinations and activities.
