Since launching their first expeditions in 2007, Aqua Expeditions has remained committed to protecting the biodiversity of the remote destinations they explore. Today, with marine pollution and climate change posing growing threats to global ecosystems, Aqua takes seriously the responsibility to support environmental conservation.
Over the past year, the company has made significant strides by partnering with global and regional organizations and refining its operations with sustainability in mind. Their collaboration with 4Ocean has helped remove nearly 20,000 pounds of waste from waterways around the world. Meanwhile, their support for the Charles Darwin Foundation and the Indonesian Manta Project is helping to fund vital research aimed at conserving the Galapagos Islands and East Indonesia.
Onboard their vessels in the Peruvian Amazon, Aqua has reduced its reliance on single-use plastics by 90%, with similar initiatives being rolled out across the rest of the fleet. “We have always worked to set the leading standard for small-ship expeditions, and today, alongside world-class accommodations and guest experiences, we measure our success through our sustainable initiatives,” says Aqua Expeditions Founder & CEO, Francesco Galli Zugaro.
