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 🌊📣

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!
Last week, our Board invited @fundacionmarviva.bsky.social to propose a follow-up project to fully go into effective & equitable management of the MPAs and its sustainable financing. #OceanOptimism
