Date: October 2, 2025 By Categories: blog Tags: , , , , , No comments

At EcoTreasures, we believe that every eco-tour should do more than provide a memorable adventure—it should also contribute to protecting the environment. That’s why we’ve set clear environmental goals designed to safeguard Sydney’s unique coastal and marine ecosystems.

By aligning our efforts with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water, we are making sure our actions actively support global change while creating local impact.

Here’s how we’re helping:

1. Raising Awareness of SDG 14 – Life Below Water

Our Goal: Educate our guests and communities about the importance of protecting ocean ecosystems.
How We’re Helping:

  • Sharing SDG 14 in our marketing, website, and social media.
  • Including conservation messages and ocean awareness in every eco tour and school program.
  • Inspiring the next generation by talking directly to students during excursions.

2. Reducing Plastic Pollution with Beach Clean Initiatives

Our Goal: Remove rubbish from Sydney’s beaches and coastal environments.
How We’re Helping:

  • Hosting beach clean activities as part of our tours.
  • Tracking participant numbers and total kilograms of rubbish collected.
  • Giving guests the chance to make a real impact with every EcoTreasures experience.

3. Plastic Hunter “Beach Blast” Before Tours

Our Goal: Promote hands-on sustainability in fun and accessible ways.
How We’re Helping:

  • Providing buckets and gloves for a 10-minute beach clean before our snorkeling tours.
  • Inviting guests to take part voluntarily, making eco-action a natural part of adventure.
  • Measuring results by participants involved and waste removed.

4. Inspiring the Next Generation Through Education

Our Goal: Deliver quality education on ecosystems and human impacts.
How We’re Helping:

  • Offering new classroom incursions for Stage 1–3 students.
  • Running field study programs that combine hands-on outdoor learning with curriculum outcomes.
  • Tracking the number of students we reach each year to measure impact.

5. Leading Sustainable Tourism Practices

Our Goal: Be a positive example of eco-tourism in Sydney.
How We’re Helping:

  • Reducing single-use plastics and lowering our operational carbon footprint.
  • Partnering with conservation organisations and supporting community programs.
  • Ensuring our guides are trained to deliver educational and environmentally responsible tours.
