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.
Our team and the MIRACETI association organized a meeting on the prospects for the development of High Quality Whale-Watching® certification and its financing.
Our team attended the Mediterranean MPA Forum 2019 in Turkey and spoke about sustainable finance.
BlueSeeds launches a support program to help marine protected areas implement a visitor fee mechanism on their site in order to finance their conservation actions.
