Zoo Marine: Impacts on the local environment and community

The zoo marine has many impacts on the local environment and community both positive and negative.
The environment is important to any large organisation but the zoo marine does not have any sustainability plans in place. However they are working with the government towards implementing a plan to minimise negative impacts on the local environment. Solar panels are on the list of things in the future to provide energy for the park from the suns natural rays.
The park also has a strict recycling policy in place with many colour coded recycling bins located throughout the park.

The local community is also very important to this organisation. This is shown in the massive 80% of people employed by zoo marine coming from the local area. The only staff they look for elsewhere are specially trained personnel who are fully trained in working with the parks animals etc. many of the products sold in the park from food to souvenirs all come from the local area which improves the local economy. The major benefit of having such a reputable tourist attraction in the community is the money that will be spent in local businesses such as accommodation, taxis and bars / restaurants around the zoo marine vicinity.
