Protecting Zanzibar’s Natural Heritage

Connecting Tourism, Marine Conservation, and Local Communities

What makes Zanzibar so special, and how can we protect it for future generations?

From vibrant coral reefs and dolphins to sea turtles and pristine beaches, Zanzibar’s marine environment is at the heart of its natural beauty, local livelihoods, and tourism industry.

While tourism creates valuable jobs and opportunities, its growth also puts increasing pressure on these fragile ecosystems. Protecting them is essential to preserving the island’s unique natural heritage.

At Under the Wave (UTW), we believe tourism can be part of the solution. By bringing together tourism businesses, visitors, local communities, and government authorities, we encourage shared responsibility and more environmentally conscious choices.

Together, we can create a future where tourism and nature thrive side by side, supporting healthy oceans, strong coastal communities, and a Zanzibar that remains beautiful for generations to come.
