Join The Blue Economy Community

The blue economy paradigm is multi-disciplinary and its growth and advancement involves the recognition of its necessity, education, the development and implementation of policies and regulations, the creation of a secured and investment enabling environment, and above all, commitment and dedication. Obviously, no organization can singularly take on these responsibilities all alone. This necessitates our building of a wide-spread, collaborative network of like-minded organizations, institutions and individuals for the sharing and exchange of ideas and information. This is we are eager to receive and welcome you to join us as we work to accelerate the growth and development of the blue economy.
