Our work on the Blue Planet Fund
We are working with the UK Government to protect the marine environment and reduce poverty, strengthening the delivery of its marine portfolio and generating evidence of impact.
Sustainable solutions for people and ocean
Billions of people rely on the ocean for their livelihoods and food security. Discover how we're helping our partners address threats and enhance resilience for marine environments and coastal communities.
The ocean and its communities contribute US$1.5 trillion to the global economy. However, mounting threats from overfishing, pollution, diversity loss and climate change threaten our coastal ecosystem – challenges which are compounded by a gaps in marine funding.
We are providing our partners with the evidence, learning and strategy support needed to address these complex challenges and deliver responsive, sustainable solutions for people, climate and nature.
