With our partners MedPAN and National Park Brijuni, we begin a one-month training cycle for managers and financial officers from 9 MPAs in the Mediterranean from Croatia, Turkey, Italy, Lebanon, Slovenia, Egypt. Marine protected areas (MPAs) managers are passionate about marine environment.
They are biologists and their protection activities are at the core of their mission, leaving little time to develop their business plan and implement a sustainable financing strategy. Yet, this is a crucial activity considering how underfunded MPAs are today. The purpose of this training is to provide analytical tools to help MPAs explore their financial data and develop a sustainable business plan. Thank you to Interreg MED Programme, MAVA Foundation, COGITO project and Office français de la biodiversité for their financial support.
BlueSeeds attended the 2020/2021 Forum of Marine Protected Areas in the Mediterranean in Monaco and facilitated a session on financing MPAs.
At IMPAC5, BlueSeeds and its partners will present financing solutions to build resilience in marine conservation projects, including marine protected areas.
With the WWF, we launch a call for projects to help Mediterranean small-scale fisheries to access EU funds and shift towards sustainable fishing practices.
