and these factors depend on the budget available to support the team and its work.<\/p><p>A marine protected area\u2019s budget basically relies on government funding and philanthropy. In developed countries, contributions from the national budget may provide these areas with a degree of financial stability, but often remain insufficient.<\/p><p>For example, a 2015 study by Thomas Binet, founder of BlueSeeds, identified that Mediterranean MPAs faced a funding shortage of EUR 700 million, which prevented them from operating effectively. They had only secured 12% of the funding they needed to achieve the of protecting 10% of the world\u2019s oceans by 2020 \u2013 a goal which was not met.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                        <div class=\"bdt-tab-content-item \" data-content-id=\"project-based-funding-support-makes-mpas-vulnerable\">\n                        <div>\n                            <p>Investment from the international community (development aid, philanthropy, non-governmental organisations) is . However, such funding is distributed on a project basis: when the project ends, the funding stops.<\/p><p>Owing to this culture of \u201cproject-based\u201d funding, what happens to the MPA team beyond the project\u2019s closure is often not thought through.<\/p><p>The teams often need to review their sources of revenue and cut costs. Sometimes, they end up cutting valuable resources and activities, and devoting their time to fundraising rather than to their conservation work.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                        <div class=\"bdt-tab-content-item \" data-content-id=\"marine-protected-areas-lack-financial-autonomy\">\n                        <div>\n                            <p>Internally, problems arise owing to a lack of financial planning skills among managers. It can happen that teams fail despite receiving significant sums of money linked to a project, because they struggle to manage the funds properly.<\/p><p>Externally, managers are confronted with restrictive legal frameworks that prevent them from establishing local financing mechanisms that could allow them to diversify their revenue streams.<\/p><p>Nonetheless, protected areas present ample opportunities for generating funds. These are places that can offer precious ecosystem services with economic potential, for example by acting as carbon sinks for the ecosystems they protect, or attracting tourists to enjoy unspoilt nature.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                    \n                                <a href=\"#\" id=\"bottom-anchor-7025001\" data-bdt-hidden><\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65a073c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"65a073c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"solution\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our solutions <\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f0e7bdc elementor-section-full_width elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f0e7bdc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f8c87f8\" data-id=\"f8c87f8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5bc6bd elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e5bc6bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"subtitle\">Support programmes<\/h4>\n<h2 class=\"title-3\">Developing self-financing mechanisms for marine protected areas<\/h2>\n<p>BlueSeeds has developed support programmes for MPA managers to help them establish mechanisms to self-finance their activities at a local level.

financing mechanisms<\/h4>\n<h2 class=\"title-3\">Want to know more about these mechanisms? Consult our MPA financing guide.<\/h2>\n<p>In 2020, BlueSeeds published a guide on financing mechanisms for marine protected areas and made it available to interested professionals for free.<\/p>\n<p>The guide introduces managers to the process of developing a robust financial strategy for their MPA, covering cost and revenue planning, funding gap analysis, cost rationalisation and analysis of potential funding sources. This introduction is followed by step-by-step, practical methodologies for implementing self-financing mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p>A new chapter is now available, focussing on how to set up and obtain funding for conservation projects!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86273d0 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-bdt-advanced-button\" data-id=\"86273d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"bdt-advanced-button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-ep-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/outils\/guide-financing-mechanisms-marine-protected-areas\/\" class=\"bdt-ep-button bdt-ep-button-effect-a bdt-ep-button-size-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-ep-button-content-wrapper bdt-flex bdt-flex-middle bdt-flex-center  \" data-text=\"DOWNLOAD\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-ep-button-icon bdt-flex-center bdt-flex-align-right\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-ep-button-icon-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-fw ti ti-arrow-right\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-ep-button-text\">\n\n                <span class=\"avdbtn-text\">DOWNLOAD<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bb386ae elementor-section-full_width elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bb386ae\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1f653a0\" data-id=\"1f653a0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8be4ed elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c8be4ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"subtitle\">Training<\/h4>\n<h2 class=\"title-3\">Strengthening finance and management know-how among protected area managers<\/h2>\n<p>Since BlueSeeds was founded, it has been commissioned several times to train protected area managers in financial planning and effective management. Thanks to the MedPAN, the RAMPAO and the MAVA Foundation, who put their trust in us, we have provided training for personnel in 80 protected areas and protected area networks in 21 countries.<\/p>\n<p>During such training, we offer managers theoretical and practical courses aimed at enabling them to identify their funding gap , assess the health of their cash flow and identify new funding sources.
