The Blue Pioneers Accelerator Program is a capacity building program for growing your impact. We empower innovators and changemakers to tackle complex problems in marine conservation and ocean management in China, the Pacific, and around the world. The Blue Pioneers Accelerator Program has two cornerstones: the Raw Case Studies and the Collaborative Experiments, delivered through two weeks of in-person classes, field trips, and networking events in the Bay Area of California. We share knowledge and experiences with each other and with inspiring practitioners and academics from leading organizations in Silicon Valley and Central Coast California. Program participants will also become part of the growing global Blue Pioneers network with over 100 members now. https://bluepioneers.ucsc.edu/what-we-do
