Blue Bonds for Oceans

Blue Bonds for Ocean Conservation presents an opportunity for island and coastal nations to reinvest in their natural resources.TNC works with a country to refinance a portion of their national debt in a way that reduces their debt burden, secures funding for conservation activities, and enables valuable returns in planning and protection to improve resilience of economies and communities.
