SUSTAINABILITY: Manta Ray Bay Resort has been at the forefront of sustainability in the diving industry.
1. Renewable Energy: Solar water heaters for the hotel were the first phase of solar implementation. Every roof has solar panels to offset island power usage.
2. Direct Investment in Ecology and Marine Environment Education:
Manta Ray Bay is happy to announce a 2019 Shark Conservation Dive Package with Divers 4 Sharks and the Shark Angels.
The previous creation was a joint project with Manta Trust and the Micronesian Conservation Coalition that became one of the most successful dive packages, Manta Mania. Another special event is Marine Biology Weeks in Yap, where guests dive with a marine biologist, Stephan Moditzo, and perform laboratory exercises during three workshops.
These events take money to get going time spent nurturing connections with scientists, meeting with activists, and working with the people who support them. This investment is made to continue leading in the industry and grow future divers awareness of the issues concerning our ocean.
3. Coral Reef Restoration: This coral reef restoration project, in partnership with Richard Shaul and Sea Byte, Inc. Three restoration areas have been established and samples harvested. This project includes monitoring, evaluation, and capacity building by creating a local team that will carry out this project.
4. Plastic-less: All plastic is on the chopping block, including drinking straws, food wrappers, and containers, as well as drinking cups. We might not be able to end our relationship with plastic, but our operation cuts every disposable plastic product out of the daily program.
