## Caption

This year we are investing in new projects as part of our Pathway to Net Zero journey. 

These projects will allow us to become carbon negative, whereby our carbon footprint will be less than neutral, so that our net effect is actually removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere rather than adding to it. 

We are investing in a Blue Carbon and green technologies start-up, in particular the restoration and renewal of seagrass meadows. 

These areas are able to capture carbon up to 35 times faster than tropical rainforests, storing them in natural carbon sinks. When undisturbed, these habitats have the capacity to store carbon long-term resulting in climate adaptation benefits, such as resilience to extreme weather events

We encourage our guests to contribute to our carbon offsetting programmes and hope to transform them into Antarctic Ambassadors who return home with a renewed perception of the world (and hopefully their subsequent actions within it).
