International Agreements protect cetaceans in the Mediterranean sea: the Barcelona, Bern and Bonn Conventions and ACCOBAMS (Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and Contiguous Atlantic Area). As commercial Marine wildlife watching/dolphin watching, we voluntarily follow The Code of Good Conduct to approach cetaceans held by ACCOBAMS.
 

In our tours, we follow simple rules to approach dolphins, which helps us minimize our impact and disturbance on the species. Moreover, we share with our guests the good practices and the correct way to interact with wildlife. We also work on involving other players in Marine Tour industry to follow the Code of Conduct.
 

In 2023-2025 we will:


- Before the summer each year Organize one webinar for the general public and one webinar for teachers to involve schools.
- We will write four blog posts in March, April, June and July about the importance and the pros of following the Code and what species is possible to encounter in Maltese waters.
- We will present the Code of Conduct during our tours to all our guests and show them how to apply it
- Yearly we will provide two workshops and explanatory meetings other marine tour operators to improve their offers towards more sustainable services.
- We commit to Report to the authority any illegality we observe
