Sustainability

Ecotourism is the epitome of everything we represent at Kokomo Private Island. Our resident marine biologists are passionate about teaching guests why our reef is so special and why it is important to conserve.

Giving Back More Than We Take

Sustainability is a way of life that runs through all aspects of our island. Kokomo excels at championing sustainability in all facets of operation from coral reef restoration to foraging the surrounding waters for new culinary flavours, recycling all waste and bottling our own fresh drinking water.

Dock to Dish

Dock to Dish enables our team to preserve important elements of the native culture, whilst furthering our commitment to an environmentally and culturally sustainable sourcing system.

CORAL RESTORATION

Guests can help plant corals into the Kokomo Coral Garden nursery, where they will grow and prosper for six to nine months, before they are transplanted back onto the house reef.

SEA FORAGING

Our team works together to identify seaweeds and sea greens that can be used for consumption.

DIVE AGAINST DEBRIS

In partnership with Project AWARE, our team performs regular reef clean-ups and coral restoration activities to ensure our surrounding reef thrives and remains healthy.

No Take Fishing Zone

We've designated a 200-meter No Take Fishing Zone around our island, prohibiting fishing by guests, staff, and villagers. This preserves our waterways and ensures the longevity of these thriving reefs for years to come.

Turtle Project

Launched in 2021 with the University of the South Pacific, Kokomo’s Sea Turtle Conservation Project protects nesting sites and studies hawksbill and green turtles found year-round on Kokomo and surrounding islands.
