WHAT IS
BLUE PROSPERITY?
Blue Prosperity refers to sustainable ocean management that works in harmony with economic growth and innovation, fisheries management, and ocean protection so that people, nature, and the economy can thrive.
Blue Prosperity is about using the ocean in a way that is good for people, the economy and the environment. It aims to balance economic growth and ocean conservation, promote sustainable use of ocean resources, and improve the well-being of coastal communities, ocean-dependent industries, and the planet as a whole.
It emphasizes the interconnectedness between ocean health and human well-being and encourages the sustainable use of ocean resources through a variety of sectors such as sustainable fisheries, shipping, renewable energy and tourism.
