3. Becoming bankable: project developers tell their stories

The path from charity to company can seem daunting. But for ocean conservationists who want more than relying on sporadic grants and donations, there is a way forward. In fact – there are many.

In this episode, BNCFF manager Dorothée Herr meets three project developers who are each becoming bankable in fundamentally different ways: using seaweed supply chains, tourism in marine reserves, and even selling carbon credits. Each method is helping to maintain and restore extraordinary ecosystems - while creating opportunities for local communities.

With special thanks to Nick Hill from Coast4C, Valdemar Andrade from the Turneffe Atoll Sustainability Association, and María Claudia Diazgranados from Conservation International.
