Environment
We are in the privileged position of operating trips in an area of beautiful Cornish coastline, incorporating a diverse environment from dramatic granite cliffs and sandy beaches, through to the Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Special Scientific Interest, and Special Areas of Conservation of the Fal and Helford Rivers.Protection
A diverse number of species inhabit this area and our aim is to enjoy their presence without disturbing their natural behaviour. We are WiSe accredited, which means that we have undergone training on how to operate around wildlife in the most sensitive and unobtrusive way possible.We aim to gather (and encourage our passengers to help us) as much data as possible regarding our wildlife sightings that we pass on to organisations such as the Cornwall Wildlife Trust and the Marine Conservation Society of whom we are Corporate members. This data can then be used for scientific research to explore marine conditions and the patterns of marine life within these conditions
Education
We aim to bring the joy of the natural environment to our passengers, and while passing on knowledge, encourage public awareness of the issues facing our marine environment today.If our passengers would like to get more involved, we can pass on details of organisations they can join, petitions they can sign, or they can become more active as volunteers or join our beach cleans.
Everyday green actions
We aim to Reduce, re-use or recycle products wherever possible and try to source our products from local, sustainable sources.We have a duty of care to help preserve our natural environment for the well being of marine species, and for the enjoyment and education of today's and future generations
