Membership in the Green Fins Hub
Green Fins membership provides global access to guidance, tools, and support for marine tourism operators and sustainably-minded tourists. Operators need to improve their environmental impact and complete a self-evaluation to personalize their Green Fins journey and create positive change.
This digital platform provides two types of membership:
1. Digital membership and
2. Green Fin Certified Membership
Digital Membership
The digital membership provides snorkeling and liveaboard operations to operators across the world. The operators will receive environmental scores based on an online self-evaluation throughout their one-year membership. This would enable the operators to evaluate their progress on their action plans.
Green Fin Certified Membership
The Green Fins Certified Membership is evaluated annually and trained in person at their operation. The evaluation is made using a scoring card, in which a low score describes the low impact of a business on coral reefs. A minimum threshold of 200 or below of an environmental impact score is required to become a Green Fins Certified Member.
Green Fins Hub
The Green Fins Hub is a first-ever platform for the global marine tourism industry that helps diving and snorkeling operators across the world make it simple and cost-efficient and promotes the sustainability of marine tourism. The United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the UK-based charity Reef-World Foundation jointly launched the Green Fins Hub to boost sustainable marine tourism. The Green Fins were originally established in Thailand in 2004 for the adoption and implementation of best practices in the diving and snorkeling tourism industry. It’s a digital platform for diving and snorkeling operators globally. Read below to find out more.
