Blue Parks in Action: How Small Grants Have Made a Big Impact for Marine Conservation
Marine Protected Area (MPA) managers and local stewards are on the frontlines of ocean conservation but often lack resources to meet mounting challenges.

From enhancing monitoring systems to engaging local communities, these grants have empowered on-the-ground conservation efforts, helping MPAs around the world protect marine biodiversity and sustain coastal ecosystems.
