Start of business plan training courses for MPAs managers


With our partners MedPAN and National Park Brijuni, we begin a one-month training cycle for managers and financial officers from 9 MPAs in the Mediterranean from Croatia, Turkey, Italy, Lebanon, Slovenia, Egypt. Marine protected areas (MPAs) managers are passionate about marine environment.
They are biologists and their protection activities are at the core of their mission, leaving little time to develop their business plan and implement a sustainable financing strategy. Yet, this is a crucial activity considering how underfunded MPAs are today. The purpose of this training is to provide analytical tools to help MPAs explore their financial data and develop a sustainable business plan. Thank you to Interreg MED Programme, MAVA Foundation, COGITO project and Office français de la biodiversité for their financial support.
BlueSeeds' Training Officer Timothée helped two emblematic marine protected areas of West Africa strengthen their financial planning: the Banc d'Arguin National Park and the Diawling National Park.
BlueSeeds took part in a roundtable of the Blue Belt Programme exploring financing mechanisms for marine protected areas in UK Overseas Territories.
At the Université Côte d'Azur, BlueSeeds trained future graduates of the Msc MARRES (Marine Resource Science, Conservation & Innovation) on marine conservation finance during a one-week bootcamp.
