finance blue carbon projects in the Mediterranean<\/h2>\n<p>The Blue Carbon Accelerator Fund (BCAF), established by the Australian state and the IUCN, is a funding programme aimed at increasing the conservation and restoration of blue carbon ecosystems in order to mitigate the effects of climate change, adapt to it, improve biodiversity and strengthen the resilience of coastal communities.<\/p>\n<p>To meet these objectives, the BCAF offers support to project managers who have projects ready to implement but require funding to do so, and to existing projects that can demonstrate measurable benefits. It also provides access to technical advice, networks to facilitate collaboration, and opportunities for future funding. <\/p>\n<p>To start with, the BCAF was dedicated to funding mangrove conservation. Then in 2023, its coordinators began looking at the possibility of using the fund to support broader blue carbon ecosystem conservation and restoration projects across the Mediterranean, including those intended to protect Posidonia, Zostera and Cymodocea seagrass meadows and salt marshes. <\/p>\n\t\t\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-339c931 elementor-section-stretched section-contact-outils elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"339c931\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;,&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\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-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-71fa950\" data-id=\"71fa950\" 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-24735ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"24735ac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The majority of Mediterranean countries need initial support to devise and develop carbon blue projects and to foster the conditions required to implement them successfully.<\/h2>\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=\"ep-section-eql-height elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5028953 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-content-middle elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" bdt-height-match=\"target: .ep-section-eql-height .elementor-widget-wrap\" data-id=\"5028953\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9fbbe5b\" data-id=\"9fbbe5b\" 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-16b91fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"16b91fb\" 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<p class=\"subtitle\">Our achievements<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title-3\">Study of the potential of blue carbon projects in the Mediterranean<\/h2>\n<p>Working under an IUCN mandate, BlueSeeds carried out a study of the needs and constraints associated with developing blue carbon ecosystem conservation and restoration projects in nine countries in the southern and eastern Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p>For each country, BlueSeeds analysed existing projects, the political and legal context, and financial and governance requirements, and advised the BCAF on the extent to which the countries concerned had the capacity to support blue carbon ecosystem conservation.
