About the conference

Ocean and Coastal Futures is bringing you our inaugural Blue Finance 2025, in addition to our wider portfolio of marine and coastal sector events.

Momentum for investing in nature and biodiversity is growing, with public and private sector drivers requiring action to secure nature-positive outcomes.

The Blue Finance: Investing in Ocean Sustainability event will bring together ocean sustainability and finance specialists to explore how capital can be directed toward sustainable investment. Through dialogue and collaboration between these communities, the conference aims to catalyse finance solutions that ensure returns on investment through protecting and restoring ocean health, and generating equitable outcomes for communities.

Join us as we seek to align financial opportunities with sustainable marine stewardship to meet our ambitious marine commitments and ensure a thriving and prosperous ocean for current and future generations.
