Read our latest newsletter to discover how #BlueProsperity leaders at the @OurOceanGreece in Athens and the inaugural Commonwealth Ocean Ministers Meeting in Cyprus are pushing to achieve 30% protection of the world’s oceans by 2030. Learn more 👉 blueprosperity.org/post/blue-pros…
A recent study highlights the many benefits of #MarineProtectedAreas (MPAs)—beyond ecosystem conservation, they enhance fisheries and tourism and support local and national economies. theconversation.com/marine-protect…
We recently met with our Blue Prosperity partners @GlobalFishingWatch, @NG_PristineSeas, and Dr. Sandin's Lab at @Scripps_Ocean to enhance collaboration and equip our partners with data to inform their sustainable ocean management decisions.
Congratulations to Arthur Sokimi on his appointment as the Pacific Regional Director at the Waitt Institute. In this role, he will advance collaboration with government partners and CROP agencies, leading to the adoption of Marine Spatial Plans across the Pacific. #BlueProsperity
Our team is kicking off 2024 with a wave of ocean conservation successes, including a successful expedition with Blue Prosperity Micronesia and @NG_PristineSeas, a climate-smart workshop with our partners, and the addition of 7 new team members! blueprosperity.org/post/beginning…
The #SamoaOceanStrategy team recently met in Apia, Samoa. They participated in an event hosted by the @samoagovt Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries promoting seaweed cultivation and met with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to strategize for the year.
Our #BlueProsperityMicronesia team visited Yap and Pohnpei to update partners and stakeholders on the program and participated in knowledge exchanges. The team shared preliminary discoveries from the marine science expedition conducted in partnership with @natgeopristineseas.
Join us in celebrating #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience! Women are leading the way towards a healthy ocean, thriving communities, and a brighter future. We are proud of all the women working in the #BlueProsperity Coalition all over the globe. #WomeninScience
The #BlueProsperityVanuatu team is together in Tanna supporting the National Ocean Policy. The Government of Vanuatu is hosting Marine Spatial Planning consultations with the seven Area Councils of Chiefs and community leaders from Tanna Island.
