Blue Alliance Marine Protected Areas announced the release of its 2024 Annual Report, providing a comprehensive overview of its activities, achievements, and impact across three countries of operation: Indonesia, the Philippines, and Tanzania, all of which are ICRI member countries.
This year’s report showcases Blue Alliance’s commitment to helping the planet, one Marine protected Area at a time, with measurable outcomes achieved in partnership with communities, local authorities, and global partners.
“2024 has been marked by continued progress and strategic consolidation for Blue Alliance. We have expanded our operations in the Philippines, strengthened the management of large Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) across three countries, supported the development of twelve reef-positive enterprises within the Blue Economy, and successfully launched an impact loan facility with the backing of a private investor. These achievements reflect the dedication and collaborative spirit of our team, whose efforts have been instrumental in advancing our mission.” said Nicolas Pascal, Executive Director and Co-Founder.
Highlights from the 2024 Annual Report:
- 1,700,000 Hectares of coral reef ecosystems in Key Biodiversity Areas benefiting from enhanced biodiversity protection and control of destructive and unsustainable fishing activities.
- 110 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in four MPA networks under mandated long-term protection.
- 12 Reef-Positive Businesses in development in the Blue Economy, 3 generating annual revenues above US$300k.
- 15,238 hours of patrols conducted.
The report also outlines the organisation’s unique approach as well as targets for 2025. It reflects a strong foundation for continued impact in 2025 and beyond.
