Atlantis Blue Project Foundation, a nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization, was founded in 2005 with the mission of saving sea species and their extraordinary habitats. By funding scientific research, conservation programs and community outreach efforts, The Foundation's mission is to protect the waters and its vast marine wildlife to ensure The Bahamas will remain a haven for a myriad of one-of-a-kind, rare and endangered species for generations to come. Funding is received through guest participation in every one of Atlantis, Paradise Island’s marine interactions and experiences (as described below).
 
As a result of the work done through the Atlantis Blue Project Foundation, in partnership with The Bahamas National Trust and The Nature Conservancy, marine park boundaries on the west side of Andros were increased from 185,000 acres to 1.4 million acres of pristine marine habitat and important nursery grounds. The area is a now protected safe haven for many of our native species.

Day passes are required for non-Atlantis guests to access Aquaventure, Dolphin Cay, the marine habitat, and beaches. The passes can be purchased - on a limited basis.
