BlueSeeds is back in Lastovo, Croatia for the second chapter of its incubator


Two years after our first intervention and one Blue Local Incubator later, we are happy to be back in Lastovo’s marine protected area in Croatia!
The goal? To strengthen the local partnership, to present the results of this first BLI, and to advance on the next steps.
As a reminder, the Blue Local Incubator aims at helping 7 microenterprises to develop: eco-tourism, recycling, olive oil production, pescatourism, electric bike rental, wine tourism. We are convinced that local entrepreneurship can be a lever to involve the residents of Lastovo in marine conservation.
The same jury that selected the incubated projects a few months ago met in Lastovo: WWF Adria, the Cooperative for Ethical Financing (ZEF), Fundación Capital, Lastovo Nature Park, the municipality, and the BlueSeeds team.
BlueSeeds' team attended the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2021 where we exchanged with our partners and conservation project coordinators after months of distance.
The BlueMooring team presented its mooring management solution to mooring site managers operating in the Mediterranean.
BlueSeeds took part in a roundtable of the Blue Belt Programme exploring financing mechanisms for marine protected areas in UK Overseas Territories.
