PADI divers are crucial in the effort to protect the ocean through the growth of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). With a target to safeguard 30% of the ocean, divers can help reverse the decline of marine biodiversity and support vital ecosystems. The Adopt the Blue™ program encourages divers to engage in citizen science and conservation initiatives, collecting data that informs policy for protecting these important areas. By uniting the global diving community, PADI aims to create a powerful impact, fostering a stronger commitment to ocean conservation.
