Sustainable Business Models for Marine Conservation

海洋保护仍然严重缺乏资金，私营部门越来越多地被提倡作为一种解决办法。该项目调查在何种情况下可以开发可持续的商业模式，以产生利润以及积极的海洋保护成果。通过从斐济和菲律宾的沿海利益攸关方收集数据，该项目将首次深入审查海洋养护的体制、财政和商业方面之间的关系。预期成果包括加强企业家、投资者和环境管理者之间的合作和决策，以实施有效和公平地保护海洋资源、生态系统和沿海社区的解决方案。

Marine conservation remains severely underfunded, with the private sector increasingly promoted as a solution. This project investigates under which circumstances sustainable business models can be developed to generate profit alongside positive marine conservation outcomes. By collecting data from coastal stakeholders in Fiji and the Philippines, the project will conduct the first in depth examination of relationships between the institutional, financial, and business aspects of marine conservation. Expected outcomes include enhanced cooperation and decision-making among entrepreneurs, investors, and environmental managers – to implement solutions to effectively and equitably safeguard ocean resources, ecosystems, and coastal communities.
