2024, Kent Wildlife Trust, Marine Internships, Guide to Blue Finance Opportunities

This is a simple guide providing an overview to different Blue Finance funding opportunities. This includes a glossary of key words used within Blue Finance and Sustainable Financing, as well as short summaries of ‘need-to-know' information covering the main environmental credits available. Current live projects, pilots and frameworks for the relevant opportunities are also highlighted, as well as possible areas of work for the Transforming the Thames (TtTs) project. TtTs is a collaborative seascape scale restoration, reconnection and recovery project within the Thames Estuary. It aims to restore and reconnect damaged habitats for the next 10 years and beyond. This guide analyses some of the options available to help fund this project. The following report was produced as part of the Coast Explorer Internship; a collaborative project between Adonis Blue Environmental Consultant (Kent Wildlife Trust), The Crown Estate, Vattenfall, and the Canterbury City Council, which is funded by The Crown Estate and managed by Adonis Blue Environmental Consultant.
