Through Wakatobi's creation of their own Reef Conservation Program, coral reefs in their corner of Indonesia are among the healthiest in the world.
世界终于意识到海洋不是垃圾场。虽然有人呼吁禁止使用塑料并制定政府法规，但越来越多的组织和社区开始直面这一问题 问题 在地方一级组织废物减少、回收和清理项目。 Wakatobi 潜水 度假村 自 1995 年开业以来，我们不仅理解了这一概念，而且已成为其基因构成的一部分。
More than twenty-five years ago, Wakatobi's founder, Lorenz Mäder, established a community-based conservation program that provides proactive protection for some 20 kilometers of coral reef and many social benefits to the local villages. This initiative has helped restore and maintain these reefs in near-pristine condition by eliminating destructive fishing practices, anchor damage and other human impacts. And these efforts don't stop at the waterline. Lorenz and the team at Wakatobi are committed not only to protecting the reefs, but to keeping waters, beaches, and the islands free of trash and waste through a variety of local engaging hands-on projects via its 瓦卡托比珊瑚礁保护合作计划.
这一切都始于度假村。瓦卡托比建立了自己的回收站，并在度假村运营的各个阶段积极努力减少一次性塑料制品的使用。客人使用可重复使用的铝制水容器，以减少塑料的使用。为了解决洋流携带的塑料废物问题，工作人员不断进行垃圾清除工作。有时，瓦卡托比团队每天要清理一公里（或更多）的周围海滩，清除塑料和可能冲上岸的任何其他垃圾。潜水队收集可能在珊瑚礁上发现的任何垃圾和碎片，而其他团队成员则操作出租船或执行其他任务，协助浮潜者和潜水员，做出类似的努力，保持浅礁顶部清洁。
Wakatobi's commitments to environmental protection and cleanup go far beyond the resort boundaries. The resort sponsors weekly village cleanups that involve up to 100 local people and works closely with the communities and governments on the issues of waste management. Wakatobi provides waste bins, organizes waste collection vehicles and sponsors additional waste storage and removal mediums for the adjacent island of Tomia. To enhance local awareness of the issues, and promote sustainable practices, the resort pays a team of well-respected community leaders and influential individuals. These spokespersons use their social status within the community to increase public awareness on the issues of reef conservation and waste management on Tomia where the Wakatobi airstrip is located.
洛伦兹和整个瓦卡托比团队仍然致力于解决废物管理和水质问题。“在我担任生态旅游顾问的志愿工作中，我与部长、州长和其他高级政治家和政策制定者进行了无数次讨论，”他说。“我总是敦促他们改善全国陆地和船上的废物管理。”
随着世界各地的沿海社区越来越认识到迫切需要采取更负责任的废物管理措施，以及同样重要的控制和清除已经污染海洋的垃圾的需要，瓦卡托比潜水度假村发起的社区项目可能成为解决这一问题的最佳方案之一。 问题.
