Blue Partnerships

 
Increasing ocean and coastal benefits to the people by untapping the incredible potential of the WIO’s natural capital.

Areas of work include:
- Productive seascapes

- Nature-based solutions

Building on our current portfolio and capitalizing on our unique expertise and network of members and partners, some strategic initiatives currently under early-stage development to support the WIO region to move Towards a Blue Future include:

- Supporting Eco-Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR) in the Mozambique Channel
- Scaling up IUCN’s Blue Natural Capital Facility in South Africa and Kenya
- WIO Blue Fellowship Program: from IPLCs to high-level officials, creation of a cohort of trained ocean champions and ambassadors to spearhead the establishment of enabling conditions for large-scale marine conservation
