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.
“Global expansion of MPAs without adequate investment in human and financial capacity is likely to lead to sub-optimal conservation outcomes”
BlueSeeds took part in a roundtable of the Blue Belt Programme exploring financing mechanisms for marine protected areas in UK Overseas Territories.
At IMPAC5, BlueSeeds and its partners will present financing solutions to build resilience in marine conservation projects, including marine protected areas.
