Blue Marine has launched a new BLUEprint for MPAs and suite of regional case studies to support the creation and collaborative management of effective MPAs that benefit people, nature, and climate. The downloadable BLUEprint provides a framework of questions and a toolkit of ideas for anyone starting out, or part way along, the journey of establishing and managing MPAs. From developing a model of sustainable fishing in the Lyme Bay Reserve on the south coast of England, to delivering an endowment fund to support a fully no-take large MPA in Ascension, the BLUEprint draws on experiences from MPA projects across the globe.
