ABOUT US
Blue Ventures is an award winning social enterprise, comprising a charity and not-for-profit eco-tourism business, working to promote marine conservation and rebuild coastal fisheries. We are committed to making conservation work for people, demonstrating powerful win wins for marine biodiversity and coastal livelihoods.
We have pioneered a number of innovative incentive-based models for marine protection, which are designed to inspire local leadership in marine management and act as catalysts for long-term conservation of coastal resources.
We use our broad technical expertise to test whether our models are suitable for adoption at larger scale, and provide support to partner organisations replicating successful models worldwide.
Blue Ventures is now uniquely positioned to drive innovation in the marine conservation sector. We have demonstrated that the right incentives can mobilise rather than alienate coastal communities, giving us new tools to scale and sustain marine conservation efforts.
Through our journey so far we have reached over a quarter of a million people. We are now implementing an ambitious strategy to accelerate our impact, and are committed to reaching three million coastal people by 2020.
