The Mediterranean Posidonia Network is organising a round table next Wednesday at #MonacoOceanWeek !

📢At #FishForum2024 , discussions centre on the significant impacts of #ClimateChange on the #Med and #BlackSea #fisheries 🌊
🤝🏼Together, we will draft a roadmap to establish a #GFCM Network of #experts on climate change.

Access to EU #fisheries funds still represents a challenge for small-scale fishers. #WWF & BlueSeeds have piloted a prefinancing facility in Croatia to provide SSF fishers with the resources they need to access #EMFAF funds and invest in sustainable solutions.

📢BlueSeeds, new partner of
Green Marine Europe!
✅BlueSeeds supports #marine conservation projects, from protected area managers to coastal communities, with a view to achieving #financial and #managerial autonomy 👉 vu.fr/jipM #bluecarbon #climatechange

What are the current financial needs to secure the protection of #BlueCarbon ecosystems in the #Med ? We’re discussing possible solution now with IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation 🌿, Office français de la biodiversité, and BlueSeeds, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders at the intl workshop in Marseille.

Happy #WorldOceanDay !

2022 has been the year of commitment. IMPAC5, COP15 and COP27 laid the foundations for what we should aim at and expect in conservation.

2023 must be the year of action.

Yesterday, at a workshop on #NatureBasedSolutions #NbS organised by the IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation 🌿 in Brussels, BlueSeeds presented the preliminary results of the opportunity assessment we're undertaking for the @IUCN on blue carbon ecosystems conservation and restoration in the Mediterranean.

#MarineConservation | Local actors, like fishers and entrepreneurs often face 2 main barriers to developing sustainable practices:
1️⃣ the lack of funding,
2️⃣ the need for business dev. skills.
Our revolving funds help them overcome these.
