Preserving the ecological structure of the dive environment requires active participation by all who dive in our waters \u2014 and it is our collective responsibility for our planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dive businesses, professionals, divers and the broader dive community should be aware of the harm their activities could cause. Pollution, damage, invasion by nonendemic life-forms, removal of protected species, trampling, and removal of artifacts reduce the attractiveness of the dive location. Bleached reefs, water with reduced visibility, pollution, litter and empty wrecks can destroy the entire dive-tourism economy in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/anchor_RiskMitigation_800x.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/anchor_RiskMitigation_800x.jpg 800w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/anchor_RiskMitigation_800x-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/anchor_RiskMitigation_800x-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/anchor_RiskMitigation_800x-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not the sole responsibility of environmental protection agencies and local marine parks to set regulations and ensure compliance.

Staff need to be aware, trained, encouraged and monitored: They need to be \u201cgreened\u201d so they in turn can serve as role models for their clients.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/reef_cleanup_RiskMitigation_256x.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14620\" width=\"256\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/reef_cleanup_RiskMitigation_256x.jpg 256w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/reef_cleanup_RiskMitigation_256x-254x360.jpg 254w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/reef_cleanup_RiskMitigation_256x-8x12.jpg 8w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Organizing reef cleanups empowers divers and enhances their dive sites.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Promoting environmental education, providing interventions and corrections when rules are broken, participating in cleanup activities, supporting local authorities and ecoinitiatives, and creating a general awareness go a long way to protecting both the surface and underwater environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few simple steps to consider in the management and prevention of further harm to the environment.
