BlueActionAA Community-Led Pilot Action Call (BAAC-01) is focussed on community-led actions. Community-led actions are defined as regional and local communities, engaged in collective collaboration for innovation and uptake, acting as agents of change and long-term impact.
BAAC-01 aims to mobilise and engage communities across the Atlantic and Arctic regions in ambitious efforts to restore and protect marine and freshwater ecosystems. By fostering community-led initiatives, the project seeks to make significant progress toward all of the objectives of the EU Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030” (Mission Ocean and Waters). The EU Mission Ocean and Waters provides a systemic approach to restoring the health of the ocean, seas, and inland waters by 2030. BAAC-01 is focusing on initiatives that pilot or implement innovative solutions aimed at achieving one or more interconnected Mission objectives within the targeted Atlantic and Arctic basins. BlueActionAA will provide financial aid through cascading grants to organisations and consortia, as well as technical assistance and capacity-building resources to ensure effective and sustainable ecosystem restoration actions.
The project aims to award at least 5 grants ranging from EUR 200,000 to EUR 2 million each to innovative projects addressing local ecological & socio-economic challenges.
