Inhalt/e
Coined in 2010, the ‘blue economy’ purportedly involves the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods and jobs, social inclusion, and ocean ecosystem health and environmental sustainability (World Bank, 2017). Seemingly well-meaning and progressive, the blue economy has captured the interest of major international organisations and has become largely synonymous for all human interactions with oceans moving forward. Activities in the blue economy range from extraction activities like oil, gas, and deep sea mining, to conservation of endangered species and ecosystems, through a variety of sea-based sectors like aquaculture, shipping, renewables, and tourism.
Some see the blue economy as a positive force that tackles issues of climate change, conservation, and sustainability. However, critics have positioned the blue economy as a “frontier for economic development” (Campbell et al., 2021, p.1), that is being deliberately planned and developed following a neoliberal doctrine with specific economic interests in mind (Mallin and Barbesgaard, 2020; Midlen, 2021; Winder and Le Heron, 2017), which are justified through the guise of sustainability interests. Important questions surround how the blue economy works for the typically coastal communities that depend on blue spaces for their well-being, and how coastal regions are going to be transformed by the emergence and growth of the blue economy.
