Blue Marine Foundation

Blue Marine Foundation is a charity dedicated to restoring the ocean to health by addressing overfishing, one of the world’s biggest environmental problems. The ocean is the world’s largest carbon sink: by combatting overfishing, we can help life in the ocean perform its vital function of stabilising the Earth’s climate.

Blue Marine works using a combination of top-down intervention to improve governance of our seas and bottom-up project delivery to help local communities who are at the front line of ocean conservation.

Their three key strategic goals are as follows:

Secure marine protected areas to ensure the protection of at least 30% of the ocean by 2030.

• Tackle overfishing and support sustainable and equitable use of the sea. 
• We tackle overfishing and other damaging activities. They support low-impact fishing and encourage a transition to fishing which benefits local economies and coastal communities without destroying the ocean.
• Restore marine habitats to revive and protect vulnerable and threatened species and to sequester carbon.
