About Blue Alliance Marine Protected Areas
Blue Alliance Marine Protected Areas currently manages 60 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) across four MPA networks in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Zanzibar. With plans to extend our management to 200 MPAs in six MPA networks by 2030, our goal is to protect 2,000,000 hectares of coral reef biodiversity, safeguard over 70 threatened marine species, and significantly improve the livelihoods of more than 50,000 coastal community members. Our innovative model not only focuses on ecological conservation but also ensures the economic empowerment of local communities through long-term income generation from reef-positive businesses in ecotourism, community-based aquaculture, sustainable fisheries, and blue carbon. These efforts are supported by the Blue Finance Facility for Marine Protected Areas – a groundbreaking vehicle to regenerate marine biodiversity and develop the Blue Economy in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.
