"We focus on innovating scalable economic incentives for marine conservation"
For the past decade, we have pioneered globally acclaimed approaches to community-based marine conservation.
Cutting-edge research and an innovative approach to engaging communities in mangrove conservation - this is how Blue Ventures is attracting sustainable finances to benefit coastal communities and protect mangrove ecosystems throughout Madagascar.
Our research into both traditional and industrial fisheries in the Indian Ocean has been instrumental in promoting dialogue on fisheries reform and mobilising civil society groups around marine environmental issues.
We work with some of the world's poorest coastal communities to develop conservation and alternative income initiatives to protect biodiversity and coastal livelihoods. The results of our work help us to propose new ideas to benefit coastal communities everywhere.
We are developing new models for incentivising and financing marine protected areas by demonstrating the economic benefits of sustainable fisheries management in partnership with coastal communities and seafood buyers.
Our intergrated approach to marine conservation prioritises the development of sustainable alternative livelihood programmes for coastal communities.
Our community health programme encompasses sexual, reproductive, maternal and child health as well as water, sanitation and hygiene. Our fully integrated Population-Health-Environment (PHE) approach is empowering coastal communities in Madagascar to live healthily and sustainably with their unique marine environments.
Blue Ventures manages the largest shark and turtle fishery research programmes in the western Indian Ocean region, supporting communities and governments in developing strategies for sustainable management of these keystone species.
