About

A tiered subscription service that grants access to designated restored areas for recreation (diving, fishing, enjoying coastlines etc.). Higher tiers provide expanded access and benefits. Funds generated are earmarked for further restoration efforts and local community development programs, addressing potential social divisions arising from tourism.
