Description/achievement of initiative
Our vision is to restore the seas to full productivity for future generations. Funding partnerships and projects in conjunction with its grantees and two institutes, the Waitt Foundation supports a variety of national and international programs concentrating on ocean conservation initiatives and marine related issues. SPREP, the Pristine Seas Project of the National Geographic Society, and the Waitt Foundation will form a partnership for the benefit of marine resource conservation and the associated sustainable economic development of small-island developing states in the Pacific region. The focus of our joint work will be on biodiversity and ecosystem management, and environmental management and governance. The organizations will endeavor to execute and Memorandum of Understanding and a work programme to be executed jointly over through 2015-16.
