Start of business plan training courses for MPAs managers


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.
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.
At IMPAC5, BlueSeeds and its partners will present financing solutions to build resilience in marine conservation projects, including marine protected areas.
OCTO - Open Communications for the Ocean included BlueSeeds' Guide on Financing Mechanisms for Marine Protected Areas in its toolbox intended for MPA managers.
