Blue Community Strategies For A Sustainable Planet & Healthy Oceans

The Ocean is facing the possibility of mass extinction according to a high level International workshop recently convened at Oxford University.

The key threats include: ocean acidification, climate change , ocean pollution, and overfishing at a rate that is 40% greater than the oceans can sustain.

Since most of the carbon emission as well as over 80% of ocean pollution is land based, there are several strategies that those concerned with sustainable tourism can implement to mitigate these concerns.

The twelve Blue Community strategies co-developed with the Walt Disney Company Animal Science and Environment team utilize approaches that not only move tourism to sustainability, but are also proven to be cost effective.
