What is the Sustainable Blue Economy?
WWF defines the Sustainable Blue Economy as a marine-based economy that:
- provides social and economic benefits for current and future generations
- restores, protects, and maintains the diversity, productivity and resilience of marine ecosystems, and
- is based on clean technologies, renewable energy, and circular material flows
