Marine toolbox

Tools and guidance for marine biodiversity risks and positive actions

The toolbox shares insights from our experience and includes open access resources developed by both Bluedot and external groups. By sharing these resources widely, we aim to build capacity, promote best practices, and drive better outcomes for marine biodiversity. 

The toolbox is constantly evolving to take account of progress and emerging approaches that seek to halt and reverse biodiversity loss.
