Blue Action Fund

Blue Action Fund is a foundation financed with public funding from Germany, Sweden, France, Norway and Ireland as well as the Green Climate Fund that seeks to conserve marine biodiversity for future generations and to improve the lives of local people today. We pursue that mission by making targeted grants to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) active in the Global South. The projects we support work on marine protected areas (MPAs) and their buffer zones, targeting the most sensitive coastal waters of Africa, Latin America and Asia/Pacific, and focus on measurable outcomes in two areas: - Newly established or better managed MPAs or networks of MPAs that result in conservation of biodiversity; - Enhanced livelihood conditions and food security.
