Being a Torchbearer begins with small steps you can take today.
- Stand Up for the Ocean: We will speak up and use our voices to drive positive change.
- Assume Responsibility: We will take direct responsibility for ocean health and act as stewards for the places we love, both above and below the surface.
- Dive with a Purpose: We recognize that every dive is an opportunity to collect vital data that can be used to create future protection measures for the ocean.
- Reduce Our Carbon Footprint: We will restore balance by reducing our own carbon emissions at work and at home.
- Make Sustainable Choices: We will reject single-use plastic, support genuine eco travel and voluntourism, make sustainable food choices, dive with eco-friendly operators when possible, and support businesses that are taking an innovative approach to sustainability.
