Conservation
As a partner operating in a National Park, Alcatraz Cruises(TM) is committed to preserving the natural resources of Alcatraz and enhancing the understanding and appreciation of these resources. What does this mean for our visitors?
We are working to protect the air - Our Alcatraz Cruises ferry boats have been re-powered with the most fuel efficient, low emission engines available. We will extend our commitment to clean air by installing exhaust after treatment technologies that decreases particulate and NOx emissions an additional 80% over California’s strict Tier II air quality requirements.
We are working to protect wildlife – More than twenty-five species of birds call Alcatraz home. During the months of February to September we put special procedures in place to ensure we don’t disturb critical nesting habitat.
We are working to be good stewards of the environment – whether it involves organic food options, interpretive information on wildlife, recycling, or sustainable building and design practices, we are doing our best to protect our natural environment.
