BlueSeeds participates in conservation finance forums


The BlueSeeds team had the opportunity to speak at two events on the theme of conservation finance. As a member of CPIC, the Coalition for Private Investment for Conservation, BlueSeeds participated in a week-long conference bringing together the key players on the subject at the international level. This week was an opportunity to deepen the understanding of investors’ needs and build strategic relationships for the platform.
A second event, Blue Invest, took place in Malta in January. On the occasion of a round table on the obstacles and opportunities of financing for projects with environmental impact, BlueSeeds was able to present its approach and expose its vision, resulting from a deep understanding of the projects and the field. Our message: if projects lack financial structuring, investors lack openness and must find alternatives to a risk-led vision!
Our team has developed a practical guide featuring financing mechanisms for marine protected areas, including concrete step-by-step methodologies to implement them.
The BlueSeeds team travelled extensively between April and June 2019 to strengthen our network of pilot sites and develop innovative technical solutions for conservation.
In the framework of the coordination of the Together for the Med network, BlueSeeds oversaw the creation of a platform featuring all the projects of the partners working to reduce fishing pressures in the Mediterranean.
