For the third time since May, BlueSeeds has joined the WWF Adria team in Lastovo (Croatia) to set up a Blue Local Incubator.
This process aims to foster local entrepreneurship guided by the principles of the Blue Economy: activities that generate socio-economic and environmental benefits. The team had the opportunity to meet local people willing to develop potential ideas : Ivica, a local fisherman, who is starting out in pescatourism; Zarinka, who dreams of opening a tasting room for jams, liqueurs and olive oils she produces; Nives and her husband, who produce wine and want to engage in organic farming.
This third mission helped prepare the launch of the call for Blue Business which will remain open until November 15, 2019.
Until then, our partners will take turns in the field to support the stakeholders in formulating their ideas for a sustainable island.
“Global expansion of MPAs without adequate investment in human and financial capacity is likely to lead to sub-optimal conservation outcomes”
At IMPAC5, BlueSeeds and its partners will present financing solutions to build resilience in marine conservation projects, including marine protected areas.
In Albania, BlueSeeds trained marine and terrestrial protected areas on the financial planning of their conservation activities.
