Six Senses has pledged to support marine conservation after signing a deal with BLUE to give a share of revenues from guest diving excursions at its With the world's oceans facing unprecedented pressure, the Blue Marine Foundation has been set up to fund the creation of a global network of marine reserves and to provide private sector solutions for the sea. It is a huge and complicated task, requiring social and political engagement together with signifcant resourcing. Blue Marine Foundation is an innovative, market-based solution that will work to raise vital revenue need to protect the seas and with them, our future -it is a facilitator and amplifier for existing conservation organisations.
A UK charity, BLUE's aim is to generate finds through a licensing and branding model and distribute them to organisations that meet our strict objectives of critical marine conservation -raising area of ocean under protection, halting biodiversity decline and restoring ocean productivity.
The Six Senses Eco Symposium in 2010 at Soneva Fushi created a rallying cry to invest more in preserving fish stocks. Chris Gorrell Barnes, co-founder of Blue Marine Foundation, revealed only 0.6% of the world's oceans are protected, "the rest can be fished until they are empty", he said, adding that "if we go on at the same rate then the oceans will be empty f fish by 2050."
BLUE is currently in talks with the Government of the Maldives about improving sustainable fishing practices in the Maldives
As Sonu states “unless we protect our oceans now, fish stocks will suffer an irreversible collapse.”
