About the Project:
The OCEAN Grants Programme is a competitive grants scheme, supporting innovative proposals from local coastal communities that aim to deliver marine protection and reduce poverty worldwide.
“Despite 10% of the global population having high dependence on the nutritional, economic, and coastal protection benefits the ocean provides and it contributing US$1.5 trillion to the global economy, less than 1% (US$13 billion) of this total value was invested in the ocean economy through sustainable projects in the past decade.
The OCEAN Grants Programme seeks to redress these imbalances by supporting people and communities impacted most acutely by climate change.”
