BLUE MARINE FOUNDATION
Blue Marine Foundation (BLUE) is a charity dedicated to creating marine reserves and establishing sustainable models of fishing. It aims to place at least 10 per cent of the world’s oceans under protection by 2020, and 30 per cent by 2030.
Since its inception in 2010, BLUE has achieved a huge amount of impactful ocean conservation, including catalysing the creation of the world’s largest fully protected marine reserve in Chagos in 2010, helping to persuade the government to create an even bigger reserve around Pitcairn in the Pacific in 2015, and facilitating the closure of 52.6 per cent of Ascension’s waters to fishing from January 2016 to the foreseeable future.
