GEF financing helps developing countries address complex challenges and work toward meeting international environmental goals. Since its inception, the GEF has mobilized the strength of its partnership to drive and support the conservation and sustainable use of the ocean. The GEF is playing an important role in advancing innovative financial tools to bolster the resilience of marine environments and the communities that rely on them. For example, through its Least Developed Countries Fund and Special Climate Change Fund, the GEF is providing essential seed financing to develop nature insurance products aimed at protecting and restoring vital marine ecosystems like coral reefs and mangroves. All five of the GEF’s focal areas—international waters, biodiversity, chemicals and waste, climate change, and land degradation—are involved in sustaining healthy marine ecosystems. The diverse GEF projects and initiatives that impact the ocean contribute to innovation and lasting success. This publication presents a snapshot of a large and successful portfolio of projects supported by the Global Environment Facility that employ nature-based solutions, foster sustainable coastal livelihoods, protect marine biodiversity, and promote climate resilience.} } @article{Pleamar, title = {Convocatoria de concesión de subvenciones por la Fundación Biodiversidad F.S.P., en régimen de concurrencia competitiva, para el fomento de la economía azul y el impulso de la sostenibilidad pesquera y acuícola, en el marco del Programa Pleamar, cofinanciado por el Fondo Europeo Marítimo, de Pesca y de Acuicultura (FEMPA) en 2025}, journal = {Fundacion Biodiversidad}, volume = {}, issue = {}, pages = {47}, year = {2025}, issn = {}, doi = {}, url = {https://fundacion-biodiversidad.es/convocatorias_pleama/convocatoria-de-ayudas-del-programa-pleamar-2025/}, author = {}, keywords = {}, abstract = {} } @article{Empleaverde, title = {Convocatoria de subvenciones de la Fundación Biodiversidad F.S.P. en régimen de concurrencia competitiva, para la adquisición o mejora de competencias vinculadas a la transición ecológica, en el marco del Programa Empleaverde+, cofinanciado por el Fondo Social Europeo Plus en 2025}, journal = {}, volume = {}, issue = {}, pages = {54}, year = {2025}, issn = {}, doi = {}, url = {https://fundacion-biodiversidad.es/convocatorias_emplea/convocatoria-de-subvenciones-2025-del-programa-empleaverde/}, author = {}, keywords = {}, abstract = {} } @article{FEAMPA, title = {REGULAMENTO (UE) 2021/1139 DO PARLAMENTO EUROPEU E DO CONSELHO de 7 de julho de 2021 que cria o Fundo Europeu dos Assuntos Marítimos, das Pescas e da Aquicultura e que altera o Regulamento (UE) 2017/1004}, journal = {Jornal Oficial da União Europeia }, volume = {}, issue = {}, pages = {49}, year = {2021}, issn = {}, doi = {}, url = {https://backoffice.mar2030.pt/uploads/Regulamento_FEAMPA_a835c59367.pdf}, author = {O PARLAMENTO EUROPEU E O CONSELHO DA UNIÃO EUROPEIA,}, keywords = {}, abstract = {} } @article{FAO2024, title = {The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture: Towards Blue Transformation.}, journal = {Food and Agriculture Organization.}, volume = {}, issue = {}, pages = {264}, year = {2024}, issn = {ISSN 2410-5902}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.4060/cd0683en}, url = {}, author = {}, keywords = {}, abstract = {} } @article{UNOCM, title = {Socioeconomic impacts of marine protected areas in the Mediterranean and Black Seas}, journal = {Elveiser}, volume = {133}, issue = {}, pages = {1-10}, year = {2016}, issn = {0964-5691}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocecoaman.2016.09.001}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0964569116301880?via%3Dihub}, author = {Marta Pascual, Marisa Rossetto, Elena Ojea, Nataliya Milchakova, Sylvaine Giakoumi, Salit Kark, Darya Korolesova, Paco Melia}, keywords = {Impact assessment, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, Social perceptions}, abstract = {The socioeconomic implications of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and perceptions of stakeholders on MPA impacts are important to consider when designing, implementing, and managing MPAs. However, the currently available knowledge about these areas and especially of stakeholder perceptions is scarce and limited to restricted geographic areas. The present study aims to address this gap by examining these factors in the Mediterranean and Black Seas using an extensive literature review and an online survey approach. We collated and examined a total of 208 published studies on socioeconomic impacts of MPAs and marine uses. We found that for fishing, the socioeconomic impacts of MPAs were generally perceived as negative for industrial fishing and positive for artisanal fishing. In the online survey, we collected ca. 100 responses and found that stakeholder perceptions on the impacts of MPAs differ across sectors and regions. Industrial fishing was perceived as being negatively impacted in the Black Sea, while most respondents from the Mediterranean Sea were neutral in their responses relating industrial fishing and MPAs. The impact of MPAs on artisanal and recreational fishing was generally viewed as neutral by respondents from the Black Sea, whereas most Mediterranean respondents indicated a positive impact of MPAs. We also found that perceptions of the major threats to MPAs differed across the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Responses from the Black Sea were systematically shifted towards a more negative perception of threats to MPAs compared to those from the Mediterranean Sea. Illegal fishing and other illegal activities were considered to be the most relevant threats to MPAs by stakeholders in both regions. The mismatch found between evidence of MPA effectiveness and impacts from the scientific literature and the results of our survey suggests that within the framework of maritime spatial planning and ecosystem-based management, effective MPA planning should be informed by multiple sources across regions.} } @article{IUCN2025, title = {Guidelines for conserving connectivity through ecological networks and corridors}, journal = {IUCN}, volume = {}, issue = {}, pages = {}, year = {}, isbn = {978-2-8317-2052-4}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.CH.2020.PAG.30.en}, url = {}, author = {Jodi Hilty and Graeme L.
