Aquanauts Grenada has been honored as the overall winner of the 2025 Caribbean Coral Reef Tourism Stewardship Award, presented by the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association (CHTA) in collaboration with the Caribbean Alliance for Sustainable Tourism (CAST) and The Nature Conservancy. This prestigious accolade recognizes the dive operator’s exceptional contributions to reef conservation, community engagement, and sustainable tourism practices. Through innovative initiatives like Lionfish Bites & Beats and Jam & Jewellery Nights, Aquanauts Grenada has transformed the invasive lionfish problem into a platform for environmental education, reef protection, and youth empowerment. These programs fund the Aqua Rangers Youth Development Scholarship, providing local youth with hands-on training in marine stewardship while removing thousands of lionfish from Grenadian reefs. Tiffany Geer, Co-Founder of Aquanauts Grenada, expressed deep gratitude for the award, attributing the success to the dedication of staff, volunteers, and partners. The organization’s Roots-to-Reef tourism experience offers visitors a holistic exploration of Grenada’s coastal ecosystems, from rainforests to coral reefs, while emphasizing the importance of conservation. Aquanauts Grenada will accept the award at CHTA’s CHIEF Conference in Barbados on November 16. For more details, visit www.AquanautsGrenada.com or contact their management team via email.
