BLC stands for Blue Life Conservancy, a non-profit, non-governmental organisation founded in 2022 and officially registered in 2025 under the NGO Act No. 24 of 2002 (as amended). BLC-Tanzania promotes a climate-resilient, zero-carbon blue economy through the sustainable management of aquatic and marine ecosystems.

We work collaboratively with the Government of Tanzania, communities, and partners to support sustainable aquatic food systems, including fisheries, aquaculture, and agriculture, alongside ecotourism and biodiversity conservation. Our efforts focus on restoring and conserving coral reefs, seagrasses, mangroves, rivers, lakes, wetlands, and catchment forests, as well as protecting key aquatic species such as marine mammals, birds, and agrobiodiversity.

Our work contributes to Tanzania’s national and international commitments under frameworks such as the UNFCCC, CBD, SDGs, Ramsar Convention, and the UN Decade of Ocean Science. We actively support national priorities, including the NDCs, Blue Economy Policy, National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP), and Vision 2050. BLC is committed to inclusive development by empowering youth, women, and persons with disabilities.
