Deadline: 1-Sep-22
The Waterloo Foundation (TWF) is proud to announce an open call for the Marine Programme to initiatives working to halt the decline of fish stocks that communities in developing countries rely on, and those working to bring about sustainable fisheries in Wales.
The Foundation will consider both practical local projects, and strategic initiatives. The protection of mangroves and seagrasses to benefit local fisheries is also a component of the Marine Programme.
Projects
-
Local projects: Applications for local projects should demonstrate that they will positively impact upon the marine fisheries they are working to protect, and could include:
- Development of marine protected areas or sustainable fisheries management
- Addressing local causes of over-exploitation of fish stocks and other seafood
- Creation of sustainable livelihoods for coastal and seafood dependent people
- Securing fishing rights or management rights for fishery-dependent communities
-
Strategic projects: They will consider applications for strategic projects that are working on addressing marine issues at a wider or international scale. These could include:
- Working on international or regional marine policy
- Campaigning for improved practices in commerce
- Exploring different fishing practices and techniques
- Improving information exchange to eradicate illegal unreported and unregulated fishing
Funding Information
The majority of the grants in this programme will be for a total of £50,000 – £100,000 spread over multiple years.
Eligibility Criteria
The Foundation prioritises providing funding support to UK-based charities, many of whom work in close partnership with smaller local NGOs based in the countries in which they operate.
