Delta partners with Patagonia Azul Foundation for marine conservation

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines, a significant player in the U.S. aviation sector, has committed to supporting marine conservation through a partnership with the Patagonia Azul Foundation. This collaboration aims to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems and restore habitats endangered by rising sea temperatures.

The Patagonia Azul Foundation, a Chile-based non-profit supported by oceanographer Sylvia Earle, focuses on conserving marine habitats along Chile's southern coasts. The organization works with local communities to develop sustainable solutions for ecosystem preservation. Delta's involvement provides financial support for advanced technology and specialized training needed in these efforts.

Delta's commitment includes backing the Multiple-Use Marine Protected Area (AMCP-MU) of Pitipalena Añihué in Chile's Patagonia region. This sanctuary covers over 230 square kilometers and is home to diverse marine life, including kelp forests that support various species essential to the ecosystem.
