To foster climate resilient fisheries and fishing communities around the world, the Blue Convergence Fund aims to fund projects and support engagement that advance (1) our understanding of climate resilient fisheries and (2) climate resilient fisheries management practices and strategies around the world. Through this work, we will support and amplify real-world applications and case studies that the global community can learn from, helping to advance the science and practice of climate-resilient fisheries management across various fisheries governance systems and ecosystems around the globe.

This request for proposals (RFP) will support science-based efforts and collaborations that use existing knowledge to catalyze climate resilient fisheries practices and strategies. Specifically, this RFP will support projects where new research is not the primary focus, but rather activities that bring people together to promote knowledge exchange, the uptake of research into management, network building, and planning and implementation.

Projects should be 18-24 months in duration with a maximum total budget of $150,000 USD.

Application Deadline: September 4, 2025
