Our oceans, covering over 70 percent of the Earth's surface, are vital to the health of the planet, supporting diverse ecosystems, regulating climate, and providing resources and livelihoods for communities. Yet, our marine environments face unprecedented threats from pollution, rising sea temperatures, overfishing, and habitat destruction, among many other hazards. Thankfully, global philanthropic funding of marine conservation has more than doubled since 2010, reaching US$1 billion in 2022. Join us for a deep dive into the ways marine philanthropy, funder coalitions, and innovative mechanisms like blue bonds are advancing innovative solutions and strategies to preserve our oceans and their inhabitants for future generations.
