Right on time to contribute to our #10YearsBlueAction reflection & celebration...

1st draft #10yearsBlueAction evaluation hit my desk for comments. Looking forward to food for thought for me & @blueactionfund.org

Yippieh. Today, our Grant Programme passed the €200m threshold (incl. match funding). Important milestone on the path to our #10YearsBlueAction anniversary next year. #OceanOptimism

What can we learn from 254 #MPAs across 25 countries?
Our 1st site-based analysis of our grant portfolio, looking at sizes, level of protection & establishment, and changes over time. Timely inspiration for forthcoming OECM Guide? ogy.de/SSI2026 #30x30 #MPAGuide #10YearsBlueAction

@oceanweigand.bsky.social & me are happy to report that @blueactionfund.org is well on track to achieve our goal of disbursing > 💶€100million to our grantees before our 10 year anniversary in 2027.

Thanks @oceanthayne.bsky.social for your work & leadership on this survey & anlaysis. Well worth the effort to feed into our review and discussion #10YearsBlueAction

What happens after a grant ends? We asked our grantees.

Two years on, early responses show they value working with us, see room to improve our processes, and say we bring more than funding. Most importantly, projects create lasting local impact. ➡️ ogy.de/nvqq
