Financing the future of coastal communities:
Scaling solutions for sustainable fisheries & aquaculture

🗓️  Saturday, June 7, 16:30 – 18:00

📍  Grimaldi Forum, Apollinaire, Monaco

Join Rare & partners at the Blue Economy Finance Forum to explore how governments, philanthropies, and private investors are aligning capital to support community-led ocean solutions. The session will highlight practical experiences from implementers working directly with small scale fisheries and aquaculture, and feature funders and finance leaders to share how blended finance, catalytic philanthropy, and technical assistance are mobilizing private and public capital to scale sustainable aquaculture and coastal conservation – and deliver impact to communities on the ground.
