Protecting Our Ecosystems

Our island paradise is home to diverse marine life and native flora and fauna. To safeguard these natural treasures, we:

• Practice Reef-Friendly Operations: We minimise our impact on coral reefs by avoiding harmful chemicals and promoting responsible snorkeling and diving practices.
• Waste Reduction and Recycling: We reduce waste through recycling initiatives and composting organic materials, ensuring minimal landfill contribution.
• Energy and Water Conservation: We implement energy-efficient technologies and water-saving measures to reduce our consumption and environmental footprint.
• Sustainable Sourcing: We prioritise locally sourced products in our operations, supporting sustainable agriculture and reducing food miles.

Supporting Local Wildlife and Conservation Efforts

As guardians of the surrounding reefs and coastlines, we actively work to protect and regenerate our marine ecosystems through:

Coral Planting

We collaborate with our marine biologist and local conservation groups to rehabilitate damaged reefs through coral propagation, helping to restore vital marine habitats.

Mangrove Restoration

We support mangrove planting efforts to strengthen coastal resilience and provide nurseries for marine life.

Marine Research Support

We’re proud to assist studies on the unique epaulette walking sharks found around Loloata, offering our support to marine scientists and conservation partners working to protect this incredible species.

Sustainable Diving and Snorkelling

Our dive operations follow eco-guidelines to minimise reef impact, and we encourage guests to respect marine life and avoid stepping on surrounding reefs.

Marine Debris Reduction

Through regular beach sweeps, we help keep our coastline and surrounding waters clear of waste and plastics.

Supporting Papua New Guinean Communities

We are committed to fostering positive relationships with the local community by:

• Providing Employment Opportunities: We offer training and employment to local residents, empowering them with skills and knowledge.
• Community Education and Outreach: We engage in initiatives that raise awareness about sustainability and environmental conservation.

Our Sustainability Partners

We collaborate with the following organisations to enhance our sustainability initiatives:

• The University of Papua New Guinea (School of Natural and Physical Sciences): Partnering in marine and terrestrial conservation projects.
• Conservations Environment Protection Authority PNG (CEPA PNG): Partnering in marine and terrestrial conservation projects. 

Looking Ahead

Our journey toward sustainability is just getting started.

We’re committed to expanding our environmental efforts, with a continued focus on:

• Planting more coral and mangroves to restore and protect our marine and coastal ecosystems
• Establishing a turtle nursery at Motupore Island to support local sea turtle populations and protect hatchlings during their most vulnerable stages.
