Project AWARE Beach Clean UP

2010-02-26T12:29:00.000-08:00

White Sands Dive Shop in cooperation with The Project AWARE Foundation’s Go ECO – Explore, Conserve, Observe campaign has adopted a mile of Ambergris Cayes beach. The mile of beach begins at Las Terrazas/Journeys End Resort and extends Northward to Mata Grande.

White Sands Dive Shop Manager Emiliano Rivero commented.” The Beach will be patrolled and cleaned regularly of plastics and glass with an emphasis placed on not disturbing naturally occurring beach wash such as sea grasses and drift woods necessary for the prevention of erosion and biodiversity of the area. We are not just cleaning the beach we are protecting it. This barrier island beach is a part of the reef system and were going to treat it with the same respect we give the corals.”

AWARE ECO educates travelers about keeping natural areas pristine and encourages tour operators to implement environmentally responsible business practices.

Tourism is the world’s largest industry and travelers are increasingly concerned about

their destination’s environmental condition. San Pedros divers and industry leaders have a responsibility to preserve local resources they depend on every day.

Project AWARE ECO Operators Such as Ambergris’s White Sands Dive Shop provides customers with experiences that enhance visitor awareness.

Mouring Bouy Program

2009-02-26T12:17:00.000-08:00

White Sands Dive Shop installs mooring buoys at the reef in front of Journeys End Resort and Las Terrazas.
Hotels and Condominiums on Ambergris allow tourist to visit the reef on Kayaks and Hobie Cats for snorkeling experiences. When the tourist arrive at the reef they want to get out of the kayak or hobie cat and snorkel, without a mooring to tie to they are tempted to tie to the corals or drop anchor on the reef. The Mooring Buoys provide an alternative less detrimental to the reef.
White Sands Dive Shop wants to help share information about the benefits of embedment anchors.
The Professional Association of Dive Instructors (PADI) in their PROJECT AWARE Program has developed informative workshops that have been presented at recent DEMA (Diving Equipment & Marketing Association) shows.
PADI has put out a comprehensive booklet about mooring buoys, which incorporates much of the current available information.
It is titled
"Mooring Buoy Program Planning".
