ABOUT THE COMPANY

Blue Ventures is a marine conservation organisation that puts people first. We support coastal fishers in remote and rural communities to rebuild fisheries, restore ocean life and build lasting pathways to prosperity.
Our work began two decades ago in Madagascar’s remote coastal communities and is growing globally.
Across more than a dozen countries, we’re partnering with traditional fishers and community based organisations to design, scale, strengthen and sustain fisheries management and conservation at the community level.
We bring partners together in networks to advocate for reform, and share tools and best practices to support fishing communities across the globe.
