WestCorp & Mermaid Cruise Lines and The Environment

We at WestCorp & Mermaid Cruise Lines know we have a special responsibility to protect our marine ecosystems. Clean oceans are good for the environment, good for our guests and good for our business.

Because we depend on the sea for our livelihood, and because it's the right thing to do, we have heavily invested in state-of-the-art treatment technologies, such as Advanced Wastewater Purification (AWP) systems, to reduce our impact on the environment. In addition to meeting or often exceeding environmental laws and regulations through our "Above and Beyond Compliance" policies, we closely monitor our activities at sea and on land to ensure standards are strictly maintained.

Mermaid Cruise Lines manages its business with a talented, competent team of professionals, who operate with a philosophy of social responsibility, environmental protection and good corporate citizenship. We are committed to timely, honest and forthright communications with our employees, guests, shareholders, suppliers and travel partners. And, we will continue to seek the counsel of experts in the environmental field. By maintaining a productive, ongoing dialogue with all of these stakeholders, we will continue to do the best we can to preserve and protect the environment.

I believe companies can be financially successful while serving as stewards of the environment and good corporate citizens. We take our responsibility to the environment very seriously, and we feel it's inextricably linked with our continued success as an industry-leading cruise line.
