YSEALI Marine Accelerator Program: Connect with Innovators and Experts 135SHARES The Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Marine Accelerator Program (MAP) has been launched to advance the capacity of emerging conservation leaders and influencers from Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, or Vietnam to scale up or expand initiatives that improve regional cooperation and address maritime and inland waterway issues, such as illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing; river or marine ecosystem degradation; or marine debris. Successful applicants to the YSEALI MAP will attend one virtual workshop in April and one in May, and an intensive in-person workshop in the Philippines in June. Participants will also get a chance to receive up to $2,000 in project grants to scale up and sustain their initiatives. The YSEALI MAP is a project of Save Philippine Seas and the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines.
