Managing for governments a federation of Marine Protected Areas, regenerating 1,000,000 ha of high-biodiversity coral reefs, protecting 40 endangered species and improving the livelihoods of >20,000 coastal community members.
One that challenges the status quo. We believe in business as a force for good — social enterprise built on sound entrepreneurial and sustainability principles to manage Marine Protected Areas, conserve marine biodiversity and better the lives of local communities.
Adequate up-front and early stage working capital for the establishment of sustainable Marine Protected Areas; innovative co-management agreements between with government, well embedded local community partners and ourselves; progressive independence from donors by creating tangible revenue streams that are reinvested directly back into each Marine Protected Area; performance-oriented management focus on sustainable financing, conservation strategy execution and revenue development.
Community development through employment, micro-enterprise development and empowerment; Wildlife monitoring and conservation through robust science; revenue stream development through sustainable eco-tourism, blue-carbon and responsible aquaculture; and compliance through patrolling, community engagement and awareness campaigns.
