Environment:
We love the colour blue so much that our members are going green.
Our member’s livelihood depends on a healthy natural environment both on land and at sea so we are all working towards reducing our carbon footprint. The use of water makers (no more plastic water bottles), solar panels and biodegradable cleaning products are just a few examples of how our members are “going green”. Read our “green sheet” to learn about other ways we encourage members to make wise choices.
Listed below is a selection of local organizations which we work alongside to protect Nature''s Little Secret:
Reef Check Foundation: Founded in 1996, IRF aims to educate the public about the value of reef ecosystems and the current crisis affecting marine life; to create a global network of volunteer teams who regularly monitor and report on reef health.
National Parks Trust: National Parks Trust: NPT was established in July 1961 by the Government of the BVI to preserve the natural beauty and historic features of the territory. Whilst NPT oversees numerous onshore parks, it is also responsible for off shore parks such as the Wreck of the Rhone and maintains an extensive mooring buoy system around the islands.
