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.
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.
BlueSeeds took part in a roundtable of the Blue Belt Programme exploring financing mechanisms for marine protected areas in UK Overseas Territories.
In Albania, BlueSeeds trained marine and terrestrial protected areas on the financial planning of their conservation activities.
