Earlier this week, FORCE BLUE announced plans to begin partnering with the NAUI Green Diver Initiative in its quest to promote conservation through education, partnerships and activities focused on environmental stewardship.
“We couldn’t be more excited” said FORCE BLUE Executive Director Jim Ritterhoff. “The NAUI Green Diver Initiative, with its vision to create a world filled with clean, healthy and sustainable aquatic environments aligns perfectly with FORCE BLUE and our mission to protect, preserve and restore the planet’s marine resources.”
The partnership will begin this June 2019, during FORCE BLUE’s upcoming mission to study Green Sea Turtle behavior in the Florida Keys alongside marine scientists and veterinarians from the Turtle Hospital in Marathon. To see the short documentary click here.
“The NAUI Green Diver Initiative is proud to partner with FORCE BLUE and honored to be a part of their Green Sea Turtle Mission” said Maria Lewis, Executive Director of NAUI Green Diver Initiative. “The NAUI Green Diver Initiative has just been through a strategic planning process and has adopted the goals of education, awareness and affecting environmental change. With that in mind, it makes perfect sense for this to be our first partnership under our new plan.”
“As someone who was worked closely both for and with NAUI in the past, I am thrilled that FORCE BLUE and the NAUI Green Diver Initiative are teaming up.” said Angelo Fiore, FORCE BLUE’s Director of Diving Operations. “Bringing the military diving community that FORCE BLUE represents together with a recreational diving powerhouse like NAUI makes for a dynamic collaboration.”
“FORCE BLUE is all about bridging gaps.” said Ritterhoff. “This partnership is just one more example.”

Green Diver Initiative is partnering with the Sea Turtle Conservancy to reduce plastic waste from restaurants. Green Diver Initiative and Sea Turtle Conservancy is working with coastal restaurant owners to change the way they distribute straws, by offering a straw-on-demand policy. This change is free for a restaurant owner to implement – the only effort needed from the owner is to educate the servers and patrons about the purpose of the policy. It works like this: Instead of automatically providing a straw with each drink at a table, a server will only provide one if a guest asks for one. The best option is to eliminate plastic straws entirely by offering paper straws instead. Aardvark Straws, for example, are a durable paper option that can be customized with a restaurant’s logo.
STC is targeting restaurants because restaurants are often the source of the problem. We have received feedback that customers try to tell the server they do not want a straw, but they still end up on the table and are eventually thrown out. Instead of leaving it up to the customer to remember ask for no straw, STC is tackling the source of straw distribution – restaurants. For more information visit Sea Turtle Conservancy.

At Mokarran, we are concerned about our impact on the environment. As you may have guessed, we do not manufacture ourselves our T-shirts. For this purpose, we work with various manufacturing companies that we chose very carefully not only based on quality but on their environmental impact. People often refer to organic cotton and our T-shirts use such cotton. However, this is not the only issue one has to be particularly careful about. Fabric dyeing can be a very polluting activity with significant environmental and health impacts. We selected partners that are using ecofriendly practices in all aspects of the manufacturing process. Of course, the human factor cannot be overlooked either. We selected our partners based on how well they treat their workforce. We wanted our partners to be transparent on all these points, so that they could tell us where, how and by whom the fabric they use was produced, woven, dyed, cut and sewn. Two companies met our requirements and are now our partners: Bella + Canvas, located in California and Stanley Stella, based in Belgium. All the T-shirts you will find on our online stores are produced by Bella + Canvas.
Morkarran will donate 1€ per t-shirt sold which is equal to about $1.20 and they will donate 10% of any Green Diver logo shirts. Please visit their site by clicking here. Then when ordering, click on the cart and put "Green Diver" in the box where it says Special instructions for seller.
