About MAR+Invest

MAR+Invest is a blended finance mechanism with strong monitoring and evaluation of impacts, business acceleration and a capacity building program to enable conditions for a sustainable ocean-based economy in the Mesoamerican Reef (MAR). It will invest in market-based initiatives that make a positive contribution to the health and resilience of the coral reef ecosystems and communities of the MAR. This will require raising additional philanthropic capital. The ultimate goal is to unlock private capital for investment in reef conservation in this ecoregion.

The four MAR+Invest partners are: New Ventures & Viwala, Mexican Fund for the Conservation of Nature & Sureste Sostenible, Healthy Reefs Initiative and the Mesoamerican Reef Fund (MAR Fund)
