Identifying and Supporting Reef Positive Businesses
The Bimonthly REEF+ Practitioner Discussions enable practitioners to share challenges, successes, knowledge, and other experiences in designing and implementing the GFCR programmes.
The first GFCR REEF+ Practitioner Discussions on “Identifying and Supporting Reef Positive Businesses,” held on 5, September 2023, unpacked opportunities and challenges encountered by GFCR practitioners when identifying and providing technical assistance to reef positive business models.
As part of this, the session discussed best practices to identify reef-positive revenue-generating interventions, the role of Technical Assistance Facilities (TAF) in identifying and supporting reef-positive business models, major gaps in support or finance to target enterprises, and future pathways to share experience and knowledge.
The two sessions, held to accommodate different time zones, featured presentations from MAR Fund, New Ventures, and Matanataki, followed by a moderated thematic discussion.
