The Ocean Foundation is granting a total of $118,266 to eight different regenerative tourism initiatives on island nations around the world through the Regenerative Tourism Catalyst Grant Program. The awards receive support from a partnership between the NOAA Climate Program Office’s Adaptation Sciences (AdSci) program, the National Marine Protected Areas Center, and the Local2030 Islands Network, along with the U.S. Department of State. The grants are intended to support island communities with implementing regenerative tourism projects and approaches as part of their broader efforts to build climate resilience and advance their sustainable development goals.
