Carpe Diem Maldives has expanded its ongoing collaboration with American environmental organisation Coral Reef CPR with the launch of its official CSR programme, Rescue a Reef.
The Rescue a Reef programme invites guests to join marine expeditions on Carpe Diem's liveaboard adventure cruises, and encourages guest donations to support Coral Reef CPR's work.
“Their collaboration over the last 18 months have experienced first-hand knowledge on how the marine biologists from Coral Reef CPR identify early on when nature is out of balance, investigate to find out the cause using their expertise and laboratory tests, and then implement scientific methods to help restore that balance, making it more robust for future events,” Managing Director of Carpe Diem Maldives, Amir Mansoor said, in a statement. Meanwhile, Chief Scientist at Coral Reef CPR, Dr. Andrew Bruckner said they are thrilled at this long term commitment from Carpe Diem Maldives.
To officially launch the Rescue a Reef initiative, Carpe Diem Maldives will host its third marine expedition with Coral Reef CPR's returning marine biologists Dr. Bruckner and Georgia Coward in October. The week-long expedition will target the house reef and surrounding areas of the company's current resort development in Raa Atoll.
