A Reef Preservation Initiative with Aqua-Aston Hospitality
Coral reefs in Hawaii account for 85% of all coral reefs in the United States.
The global coral bleaching crisis has affected the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and Hawaii. NOAA has called for immediate action, citing global warming and water pollution from agriculture and sunscreen as the top causes of the crisis.
What is #ForOurReef

・Sunscreen dispensers with complimentary Raw Elements' sunscreen
・Raw Elements is available for purchase at most properties
・Samples of Raw Elements is given to guests at check in
・Raw Elements is part of the Eco-Kit provided to guests
・Guests can trade in their chemical sunscreen for Raw Elements
・Raw Elements and Aqua-Aston have worked together on numerous community events
