The Green Fins
 The Green Fins project is initiated and coordinated by COBSEA's secretariat as part of the effort to increase public awareness and management practices that will benefit the conservation of coral reefs and reduce unsustainable tourism practices.
The network of dive operators in Thailand and Philippines, are implementing the project, with one leading organization in each country.
The leading organizations are responsible for expanding the network in their respective countries and to produce educational and public awareness materials and certificates. The COBSEA Secretariat coordinates the project activities and is responsible for the dissemination of the produced materials and follow up activities.
The Green Fins activities currently focus on expanding the project to additional member countries in the East Asian Seas region and to strengthen the existing network.
Take a look at the video-clips explaining the "Green Fins":
