Environmental Policy
Tourism in Ireland offers remarkable experiences but also poses environmental challenges. At Aqua Terra Boat Tours, we recognise our responsibility to mitigate these impacts through sustainable practices that preserve the natural beauty our visitors come to enjoy.
Our Environmental Commitment: We are deeply committed to minimising our ecological footprint during tours. This means practising restraint in sensitive areas to preserve their integrity, and where feasible, enhancing the local communities and ecosystems we interact with.
Adherence to Regulations: Our operations comply strictly with Irish and EU environmental laws, ensuring that our activities contribute positively to the areas we operate in.
Sustainable Practices: Our commitment to environmental sustainability is demonstrated through:
- Preserving natural resources for future generations.
- Sustaining the productivity and biodiversity of our environments to prevent irreversible changes.
- Minimising waste by prioritising recycling and promoting the responsible use of resources.
- Choosing suppliers and services that share our environmental ethos.
Education and Awareness: We actively raise awareness among our staff and guests about environmental issues, encouraging practices that contribute to a sustainable future.
The Three R’s Principle:
Reduce – We aim to minimise resource usage across all our operations.
Reuse – We repurpose materials wherever possible to extend their life cycle.
Recycle – We ensure that materials are recycled to reduce waste and environmental impact.
Our environmental policy is a living document, reflecting our evolving practices and the latest in sustainable tourism. We review and update our policies annually or as needed to ensure they align with current environmental standards and our company’s ethical commitments.
For any inquiries about our environmental practices or suggestions on how we can improve, please contact us at info@kerryaquaterra.ie We are always looking for ways to enhance our sustainability efforts and value input from our community and stakeholders.
