BlueMooring is developed by BlueSeeds, a company addressing the challenge of insufficient funding for marine conservation. BlueSeeds develops financing solutions and help conservationists implement them on the field.
BlueMooring was born out the assessment that marine protected areas—that installed moorings to protect the seagrass bed from anchoring—usually lose more than 50% of their mooring fees because of the way collection is currently handled. Indeed, the MPA staff usually lack the time to collect those fees or boaters moor in the area without being aware of a fee. Furthermore, the fees collected enable MPAs to only finance the collection system itself. The BlueMooring team helps marine protected areas make cost-benefit analyses to assess if our tool can create additional revenues managers can channel towards conservation.
This tool is the first project to emerge as part of the Incubator project funded by the MAVA Foundation.
