RED is much more than a tour operator - traveling with RED supports community development and local conservation efforts. In Magdalena Bay, RED tours provide a sustainable economic alternative that helps to relieve pressure on fishing resources and cultivates stewardship in the community. RED’s work runs deep, ranging from small business creation and guide training for local operators, to marketing and sales of community-made products. RED places conservation in the hands of community members by linking natural resource preservation to economic opportunity.
