Description

The UK SEAS Programme is a five-year programme of work led by WWF from 2017 - 2022 focusing on two case study areas: North Devon and the Outer Hebrides.

The UK SEAS project will do the following: - We will work with communities in North Devon and the Outer Hebrides to come up with new and creative ideas for better managing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) so that people and nature can thrive. - The UK's network of MPAs provides a key opportunity to improve the health of our seas. We will take a fresh look at how we coordinate the management of these areas, recognising that decisions made in one place have consequences elsewhere. - We want to work in partnership to find innovative ways of financing management to improve the health of our seas and bring economic growth.

As part of this project, we have an objective to identify and trial up to two innovative sustainable financing mechanisms in case study areas which integrate ecosystem services derived from natural capital into MPA management.

The expected outcomes of the sustainable finance workstream in the UK SEAS project are the following:

1. Feasibility of sustainable financing demonstrated through innovative new solutions. 2. Project findings influence policy, through identifying sustainable finance mechanisms that can be applied to other UK MPAs and policy changes required to support these. 3. Public and private sector stakeholders demonstrate commitment and actively participate (e.g. in developing/implementing finance mechanisms, identifying ways that private sector can increase support/investment in MPAs, and increase acceptance of MPAs).
