What is a (Brown, Sustainable or Regenerative) Blue Economy?

The Blue Economy relates to economic activities in marine sectors like fishing and shipping. Initially focused on growth and job creation, it was often termed a “brown Blue Economy.” This concept has changed to emphasize sustainability, ensuring that economic growth does not harm ocean health. The sustainable Blue Economy aims to balance economic benefits with the preservation of marine ecosystems. It is vital for divers to understand this balance as it impacts ocean health and future diving experiences.
