Marine Conservation Action Fund (MCAF)

The New England Aquarium's Marine Conservation Action Fund is a microgranting and fellowship program that addresses critical needs in the marine conservation field, including rapid turnaround funding for urgent, time-sensitive projects and support for early-stage, entrepreneurial projects led by local conservation leaders in low and middle-income countries. We are excited to induct new conservation leaders into the supportive community of 12 visionary and accomplished MCAF Fellows who have helped make the program what it is today.
