What We Can Help You With

1. Regulatory & Park Fee Corrections

Marine park entrance fees, local guide mandates, and seasonal sanctuary closures change regularly. If you have on-the-ground updates regarding entrance fees or municipal bylaws at any of our 44 audited sanctuaries, let our research desk know.

2. Operator Verification & Directory Submissions

Are you a licensed PADI Eco-Center, NOAA-permitted commercial vessel, or CONANP-certified cooperative guide? We evaluate local operators for inclusion in our directory based on:

  • Valid maritime and environmental permits.
  • Small-group ratios (maximum 1 guide per 6 guests).
  • Enforcement of the 3-meter wildlife distance buffer.
  • Mandatory reef-safe sunscreen and gear standards.

3. Wildlife Harassment & Incident Reports

If you observe commercial tour operators or unguided swimmers harassing sea turtles, riding shells, or violating marine park laws, document the date, vessel name, and GPS location and email our audit desk at [email protected].

💡
Submitting Photographic Evidence: When submitting operator corrections or reporting sanctuary incidents, please include unedited high-resolution photographs with EXIF timestamp data to assist our verification team.
