ST. AUGUSTINE ECO TOURS, INC.
ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA

Mission: St. Augustine Eco Tours has started the first major population study of the Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin in our area. All research is non-invasive and internally funded. We are a resource to our community in efforts for marine mammal protection and wildlife rescue. A percentage of income is contributed to local, national and international environmental organizations. Constantly striving to reduce our impact as a company, we operate the most fuel efficient boats with engines that produce ultra low emissions. We have adopted new technologies to reduce print advertising impacts and operate a paperless back office. Maintain slow speeds in marked channels where dolphin & manatee activity is common. Develop a company produced map of these high speed zones that shouldbe slow speed due to animal activity and encourage other vessels to slow down. Use photo and video documentation to encourage regulators to install slow speed zones for wildlife and safety. Also remember we are in the heart of the historic district so every thing you want to see and eat is 5 to 10 minutes away on foot.
