Who We Are

OUR

NETWORK

The Blue Prosperity Coalition (BPC) is a global network of organizations working together to provide support and technical expertise to committed governments around the world in implementing sustainable ocean plans.

"No one person, no one entity can save the oceans, but if we work together, we pool our resources, this is a problem we can fix."
