Our Approach
We are accelerating the pace, scale, and effectiveness of large-scale ocean conservation through partnership.
The Blue Nature Alliance forms partnerships based on trust and shared goals.
We provide a combination of technical expertise, access to a network of partners, and flexible financial resources for our site-based and global partners.
Site Selection Criteria
We work globally, in all ocean basins, from the coasts to the high seas and from the tropics to the poles. All potential site engagements are considered based on the following criteria:
Significant
Large ocean areas that are of vital importance to nature and people.
Catalytic
Ideas and opportunities that rapidly build momentum for durable protections, inspire innovative approaches, or push conservation to unprecedented new scales.
Political Will
Decision-making authorities or Indigenous communities have expressed a strong vision for ocean conservation; and these leaders are prepared to take action and partner to achieve this vision.
Local Champions
Local champions are ready to work with partners to drive towards impactful ocean conservation outcomes through engagement with their community.
Achievable
Partners working together with clearly articulated outcomes and a high likelihood of success.
Leverage
Presence of co-investment and/or match funding which may include government revenue, private sector donations, public funding, or other philanthropic giving.
