The Blue Nature Alliance is a global initiative designed to accelerate the pace and scale of ocean conservation through partnership. We partner with non-government organizations, governments, Indigenous and community led organizations, the private sector, and other partners who are working towards the creation and management of large-scale ocean conservation areas around the world. Our goal is to catalyze the effective conservation of five percent of the global ocean by 2027 in order to help build resilience, promote human well-being, enhance ecosystem connectivity and function, and safeguard biodiversity.
Through a holistic approach that addresses biodiversity protection, human well-being, governance and long-term financing, the Alliance seeks expressions of interest to partner with us in securing the creation of new marine protected areas of at least 100,000 square kilometers in size or protect at least 30% of a country’s exclusive economic zone anywhere in the world by 2027.
Expressions of interest will be considered for potential financial and/or technical support on a rolling basis through December 2024 and then on a 6-month cycle from January 2025-June 2026. The Blue Nature Alliance team will conduct independent due diligence on selected submissions and may invite a full proposal for grant funding.
