SUPPORTING OCEAN HEALTH WITH BLUE MARINE FOUNDATION In 2024, Quark Expeditions joined parent company Travelopia in supporting Blue Marine Foundation, a UK conservation charity restoring ocean health. Alongside sister brands, we committed to conserving and restoring 7,000 hectares of marine ecosystems through seven global projects over three years. Marine ecosystems are the lifeblood of our planet—not just for biodiversity, but for regulating the climate. ‘Blue carbon’ ecosystems like mangroves, saltmarshes and seagrass meadows absorb and store vast amounts of carbon, while buffering coastlines against storm surges, sea-level rise and erosion. By safeguarding these ecosystems, we help protect some of the planet’s most effective carbon sinks and support the climate and ecological processes essential to the health of polar oceans. Ocean health knows no boundaries. The Arctic and Antarctic oceans aren’t isolated—they’re part of a connected system, linked by currents, carbon cycles, and migrating marine species. Protecting polar ecosystems helps safeguard powerful carbon sinks and the global processes critical to climate and ocean health.
