Markham Yard collaborates with Costa Del Mar to promote conservation.
Markham Yard tapped to develop Costa’s Third Edition Protect Report.
Miami, FL, Oct 30, 2025 –– As the leading outdoor performance optical innovator for over 40 years, Costa has not only been creating high-quality sunglasses and gear for outdoor enthusiasts to See What’s Out There, but carrying out their commitment to conservation on a global scale to protect what’s out there, too.
Every other year, this commitment is captured in a comprehensive report to illuminate the broad spectrum of programs, partners and initiatives around the world that Costa successfully supports, the results achieved, and the future efforts envisioned. So we at Markham Yard were proud to once again to collaborate with long-term partner Costa to bring this complex project to life as a part of our ongoing efforts to support those who are supporting conservation.
We are proud to share the results of this almost year-long initiative: the Third Edition Protect Report: a purpose-led overview of their global sustainability efforts throughout 2023 and 2024. Through partnerships, events, and internal initiatives, the report highlights the efforts Costa takes to reduce their footprint, support conservation movements, events and partners around the world, protect endangered species, and promote a conservation-focused mentality to their customers, fans, and audiences.
“As lifelong anglers and marine enthusiasts, we are always up to work with our friends at Costa,” said Markham Cronin, Founder and CCO of Markham Yard. “They are one of the leaders in the Outdoor Industry that are showing the way that purpose-driven efforts can be not just good for the planet, but good business. This report highlights the hard work they’ve done not just to encourage a life on the water, but also to preserve and safeguard those very waters for generations to come. We’re proud to play a part in spreading awareness of this noble and important cause.”
