Blue Alliance: Enhancing government collaboration with MERMAID

Founded in 2015, Blue Alliance envisions self-sustaining Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Recognizing the limitations of public funding, they developed an innovative conservation model, partnering with governments to create financially independent MPAs. A key component of this work is robust data collection and analysis, and in 2023, Blue Alliance began collaborating with MERMAID to streamline their monitoring and reporting processes, enhancing their ability to demonstrate impact and secure sustainable funding for their vital work.

This case study explores how Blue Alliance uses MERMAID to conduct their monitoring and evaluation for their Global Fund for Coral Reefs programme.
