Blue Marine Foundation

BLUE Marine Foundation (BLUE) is a new UK charity founded in 2010 by the people behind the film The End of the Line.

BLUE exists to fix the largest solvable problem on the planet - the crisis in the oceans.

BLUE will be creating flexible, case-by-case solutions to the marine crisis through public-private partnerships.

By raising funds to leverage conservation gains, BLUE aims to increase the area of ocean protected by marine reserves from just over 2.3% to 10% over the next ten years.

BLUE is not just another NGO; it is an enabler of NGOs. We will articulate and deliver the resources required to save the oceans
