Still buzzing from last night’s @blueactionfund.org EbA reception with @oceancecilia.bsky.social — packed with energy, new connections, and momentum. Amazing to see the cohort, or “GCF-EbA family,” as one grantee put it today, growing closer and making waves together 🌊📣
A few impressions from the session led by @blueactionfund.org grantees on #EbA in the #WIO at @wiomsa.bsky.social conference: a packed room, engaging discussions and sharing of lessons learned from these @greenclimate.fund financed projects. More about these projects here: tinyurl.com/4r2h7w8r
The place to go, in case you attend @wiomsa.bsky.social symposium. #OceanOptimism @oceancecilia.bsky.social @oceanthyrza.bsky.social @blueactionfund.org
After 3+ years of online exchanges, a first one for the books: @blueactionfund.org EbA grantees from around the WIO sharing a meal in 3D at @wiomsa.bsky.social symposium 🥳 More about this gang here: tinyurl.com/4r2h7w8r
Excited to be joining some 1200 other WIO ocean enthusiasts for the WIOMSA symposium and looking forward to an exchange-rich week! @wiomsa.bsky.social @blueactionfund.org @oceanthyrza.bsky.social
This Friday in Mombasa... 👇
On the ground at the @wiomsa.bsky.social conference and happy to meet ➡️ @oceancecilia.bsky.social & @oceanthyrza.bsky.social

And proud to announce that one of those accepted special sessions will dive into lessons learned on EbA in the WIO by @blueactionfund.org grantees in the region (more about the projects here: tinyurl.com/bdrwdj2v). Congrats to the team! #oceanoptimism
Thrilled that I get to continue working closely with @fundacionmarviva.bsky.social and partners to shape up a potential follow-up project in this unique (and massively large) Costa Rican MPA. 🥳 Now time to roll up our sleeves and get to work!
Yesterday at #UNOC3, the WILDOCEANS programme of WILDTRUST, in partnership with the Blue Action Fund, hosted a session titled “Strengthening Africa’s Marine Resilience: Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) for Africa.”

This was one of the first 2 grants I started overseeing upon joining Blue Action over 5 years ago. Much was learned on all sides along the way and it's now a pleasure to congratulate to WWF and Wetlands on completion of this journey! 👏
Save the date: #CoastalClimateHeroes 9 June #UNOC3, featuring several of our grants incl. in 🇧🇿 & 🇲🇬.
Cohosted with @wwf.de @bmz.de & @giz.de
Happy anniversary Vera! And thank you for everything you do for Blue Action and each one of us every single day. 🙏🥳
This grant was the very 1st in my portfolio upon starting at Blue Action nearly 5 years ago and it's the first to come to an end. Congratulations WCS!
