Navigating Ocean Investments - How Collaborative Management can fill the Marine Conservation Funding Gap

Delivering sustainable economic growth
Oct 05, 2019 | IIED Insights, Laura Kelly, Annabelle Bladon

Conservation projects, particularly around marine ecosystems, are not attracting significant impact capital. Marine protected areas (MPAs) - reserves in the ocean - are a tool for protecting marine ecosystems and biodiversity. In this case study for IIED Insights, Laura Kelly and Annabelle Bladon discuss a business model to bridge the marine conservation funding gap. They argue that, with a rigorous science-based approach, effective management and the right investments, MPAs can support ocean ecosystems, enhance resilience to climate change, and provide food and income for local communities.
