The Seychelles Conservation and Climate Adaptation Trust (SeyCCAT) manages several innovative blue financing mechanisms aimed at promoting sustainable use of ocean resources, particularly around coral reef ecosystems.

The expansion of SeyCCAT's Blue Investment Arc will support sustainable businesses in Seychelles that address coral reef degradation through sectors such as fisheries, tourism, and waste management. By expanding the Business and Technology Incubator (BTI) and exploring the Blue Enterprise Fund (BEF), this initiative provides financial and technical support to coral-positive small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The project fosters job creation and marine conservation by empowering businesses that contribute positively to the environment, helping to create a resilient and sustainable blue economy in Seychelles.
