Call for interest – Visitor fee support programme


Too many Mediterranean MPAs are facing a recurrent lack of financing resources, needed to carry out their missions: restoring vulnerable ecosystems & provide services to coastal community.
To help MPAs managers to develop diversified self-generated revenues, our partner, BlueSeeds, produced a practical guide on financing mechanisms.
BlueSeeds now wants to go further and support directly MPA managers in the implementation of such financing mechanisms. To do so, BlueSeeds is launching a one-year FREE support programme for setting up visitor fee systems in Mediterranean MPAs, starting in July 2021. You work for a Mediterranean MPA and you want to implement a visitor fee mechanism in your MPA? Send your application & benefit from this one year FREE support program!
This support program is part of the Co-Managed No-Take zones/MPAs project, funded by the MAVA Foundation, conducted in collaboration with the MedPAN, the SPA/RAC, the WWF, AGIR, LIFE Platform, Notre Grand Bleu, HCMR.
The Ocean & Climate Platform recommends BlueSeeds' Guide on Financing Mechanisms for Marine Protected Areas in its "An Ocean of Solutions" report.
BlueSeeds and the WWF launch a call for interests for legal consultancy on the feasability of a mechanism aiming to help small-scale fishers get access to EU subsidies.
“Global expansion of MPAs without adequate investment in human and financial capacity is likely to lead to sub-optimal conservation outcomes”
