A multiplication of field missions!


The BlueSeeds team travelled extensively between April and June 2019 to strengthen our network of pilot sites and develop innovative technical solutions for conservation.
Among these, our trip to Cabras, Sardinia, enabled us to work with the Medsea Foundation and the MPA “Peninsola di Sinis – Mal di Ventre” teams on the mechanisms to be put in place to protect the Posidonia meadows, which are abundant in the area. Exchanges with fishermen’s cooperatives, yachtsmen’s associations and the town council’s services have enabled us to gain an exhaustive view of local pressures and issues and to calibrate BlueSeeds support as best as possible.
Our team was in Tunisia to start the impact report of the projects led by the Together for the Med partnership, a network BlueSeeds coordinates alongside IUCN Med.
OCTO - Open Communications for the Ocean included BlueSeeds' Guide on Financing Mechanisms for Marine Protected Areas in its toolbox intended for MPA managers.
With the WWF, we launch a call for projects to help Mediterranean small-scale fisheries to access EU funds and shift towards sustainable fishing practices.
