Bluence operates through two interconnected lines of action that combine storytelling, entrepreneurship, and citizen engagement as levers for sustainable transformation.
We co-create content and tools that help communities share their stories, strengthen their local economies, and contribute to a broader shift in how we understand, relate to, and protect ocean and freshwater ecosystems.

This is Bluence’s narrative and community exchange line of work.
We co-create micro media capsules based on lived experiences and local solutions shared by coastal, riverine, and mangrove communities across the Global South. These stories are shared back with the communities and distributed through partner networks. They function as tools for peer learning, citizen engagement, and global awareness, supporting media for climate change, education, and visibility.

We embrace both intergenerational and transgenerational storytelling, uplifting traditions, ancestral knowledge, and emerging voices to build emotional connection, cultural continuity, and behavioral shifts toward sustainability.

Supporting small businesses that care for oceans, rivers, mangroves, and the people who depend on them
This is Bluence's economic development line of work.
We support small and micro enterprises rooted in coastal, river, and mangrove territories, particularly those historically left out of formal support systems. Our work focuses on entrepreneurship training and support, sustainable product development, and business models connected to water, biodiversity, and cultural identity.

We see entrepreneurship not just as a source of income, but as a pathway to local empowerment, environmental care, women's economic autonomy, and social justice. We believe women and youth are key agents of change in building a more just and resilient blue economy.
